Alexander Zverev had been collaborating with coach Sergi Bruguera since May 2022, with Bruguera playing a crucial role in improving Zverev’s performance on clay courts. However, as the 2023 French Open approaches, Zverev has made the decision to part ways with Bruguera.

Zverev has lost his position of being Germany’s No.1 player to Jan-Lennard Struff. Zverev explained his decision for splitting with Bruguera. He claimed that they, he and his father, did not align with the opinion of Bruguera on how Zverev should play tennis after his injury. Zverev also mentioned that they tried out another thing, but nothing worked out.

After declaring that Bruguera was no longer a part of his team, Zverev said, “It was always a clear plan that he is with me because my father didn’t feel well in terms of health. We decided together with Sergi after Madrid a few weeks ago that we finish our work,”.

However, throughout this entire process, Zverev had nothing bad to say about Sergi Bruguera. Zverev said that Bruguera was a superb person. Zverev added, “He helped me extremely [well for] one-and-a-half years ago until Paris last year, in times where my father was not there. I wish him nothing but the best for the future.” Zverev also mentioned that he wanted to find his confidence and courage back while playing tennis. He wants to compete at the top level again and it is clear to him how he should approach his career.
