World number 5 Alexander Zverev insists he is good with Jez Green but they decided to split up because the fitness trainer is about to become a dad and wants a calmer life. Green is one of the most famous fitness trainers on the tour and Zverev hired him a few years ago to strengthen him.
“We made this decision together. He becomes a father for the first time when he is 50 and wants a somewhat quieter life. You don’t have that in tennis. We have been working together for seven years and have celebrated successes. “
He said that I was so strong in the weight room that he couldn’t help him anymore. It wasn’t a big discussion, everything is fine, ”said Zverev to BILD.
Zverev has a new fitness trainer
Zverev has hired former rugby player Mark Bennett as his new fitness trainer.
“He’s crazy. He’s got a screw loose. He was a rugby player and wanted to go to the World Cup. But he broke his finger and the doctor said he couldn’t walk. Mark said he didn’t need the finger. But the doctor said he couldn’t go.
So he went to another doctor, had his finger amputated and drove to the World Cup. I have to come something, said Zverev. Zverev recently won his first gold medal after beating Karen Khachanov in the Tokyo Olympics final.
Winning the gold medal meant a lot to Zverev. “Outside people probably have a hard time understanding (what it means to win gold). After all, the gold we win is not real gold. Our gold is made up of years of sacrifice, hard work, sleepless nights, training sessions that you you don’t feel like it, discipline, lots of tears. Only other athletes understand how much you have to invest and how much you suffer, “said Zverev.
