German lad Alexander Zverev is spending his lockdown period in Florida, in the US. He’s staying nearby the Saddlebrook Tennis Academy and has the leverage to train thrice a day, and he also uses the gymnasium. While speaking to Sky Sports Germany Sascha spoke about his goals to improve in tennis.
Usually, World Number seven Zverev is spotted committing an uncountable number of doubles faults owing to his weak command over his second serve. Right now, during the tennis break, Sascha looks forward to working on his serve. Also, he will work on his signature shot, which is his backhand.
“Tennis wise I try to develop a more active way of play. I can play many balls in the court. But I want to come to the net more, improve my backhand and serve, too,” he said.
