"We both in very different ways had a difficult time last year": Zverev on seeing Becker during Davis Cup

Alexander Zverev shone against Stan Wawrinka yesterday to add a point on the board at the Davis Cup in an important day ahead today for the team as the tie concludes.

Zverev said that while he won't be winning a Grand Slam tomorrow, he was satisfied with his efforts.

"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.
