Alexander Zverev has hinted at potentially working with Boris Becker as his coach. But as has been mooted, the red tape surrounding his travel after spending time in prison could prove to be a hindrance to him getting the role.
Becker is a free agent after ending his stint with Holger Rune, with timing and lack thereof to spend with the Dane being the reasoning behind the split. Zverev on the other hand has been coached by his father, Alexander Zverev Snr since parting ways with Sergi Bruguera last year.

“We started this partnership with the initial goal to reach the ATP Finals end of last year but moving forward I realised that in order for this to be successful, I would need to be available for Holger much more than I can,” said Becker on splitting with Rune.
The 26-year-old added: “You can always learn something new, I’m not going to be stubborn and say: ‘I know everything’.”
