Overview
- Germany’s tennis federation named Alexander Zverev to the Davis Cup Finals roster in Bologna alongside Jan-Lennard Struff, Yannick Hanfmann, and the doubles team of Kevin Krawietz and Tim Pütz, with a quarterfinal against Argentina.
- It will be Zverev’s first Davis Cup appearance since February 2023 and his first participation for Germany at the Finals stage.
- The call-up comes after Zverev dismissed Boris Becker’s recent podcast critiques, accusing him of seeking attention and saying Becker’s opinion is now indifferent to him.
- Zverev disclosed he has had two injections for back pain and plans to play Vienna, Paris and the ATP Finals in Turin as he works to recover form.
- His season has yielded one title in Munich and several setbacks, including an early exit to Taylor Fritz at the Six Kings Slam, though he insists he can still defeat Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.
