"Mentally, it's very important that I notice that things are progressing. That feels good," said Zverev as per sport.de. "It's not like I'm going to win a Grand Slam tomorrow. My goal is to play my best tennis again for the clay court season."

Also returning was Boris Becker who was involved in the set-up and for Zverev he sees both as having to overcome a difficult 2022.

"We invited him as a friend of the team and we were happy that he accepted the invitation. He's still part of the team," said team boss Michael Kohlmann.

"It's always nice to see him. We both - in very different ways - had a difficult time last year," said Zverev.
