In November 2019, Germany’s number one tennis player Alexander Zverev was touring in South America with Roger Federer. The duo played multiple exhibition matches in five countries of the continent. While the other ATP men were rallying past each other in Madrid, Spain at the Davis Cup Finals.

Back then the tennis world wasn’t happy with the revamped version of the historic tournament. Many players complained regarding the event backed up with Gerard Pique, which was Davis Cup. And Sascha was one of them who criticized the event and said, “I just don’t think it’s the real Davis Cup anymore.”

“If we don’t play a tournament by November and it’s the first tournament in Madrid, I would be eager to play tennis again. That’s why we have to have a look. I always say that I love to play for Germany and hopefully I can do all three disciplines at the Olympics. I also like to play the ATP Cup and I appreciated the Davis Cup – as long as it was the real Davis Cup,” Zverev told Nau.
