Zverev spoke to Sky about his father Alexander Senior who was behind part of the split, with differing opinions being the reason. The 27-year-old has since been coached by him since the split.
"My father gets a lot of disrespect. But I don't know why," said Zverev said to Sky: "He's not just a parent, he played tennis at a high level himself. He was number one in the Soviet Union and played against the best in the world."

“I would take him back immediately – immediately. Every time he came back to his family in Spain after a tournament, he had to go into quarantine for two weeks. Then he told me: 'I can't do this now. I just stopped playing tennis and I can't "It's getting to the point again where I only see my family six weeks a year," Zverev recalled.
