After his defeat at Wimbledon<\/a>, the German spoke candidly about his current struggles, saying he had \u2018never felt this empty before\u2019, and suggested a switch-up in his coaching team could be on the horizon.<\/p>\n Recently, Zverev has been seen working with Toni Nadal<\/a>, and fans have already noticed something about his approach to practice with the high-profile coach.<\/p>\n Footage of Zverev training with Nadal at the Rafael Nadal<\/a> academy has been circulating online, which supporters of the world number three have given their thoughts on.<\/p>\n One fan took to X to say: \u201cI like what I\u2019ve seen so far in the clips of Alexander Zverev\u2019s training with Toni Nadal. Instead of silence and bad moods, there\u2019s guidance, praise and motivation.\u201d<\/p>\n Another fan replied: \u201cIt\u2019s such a big change from the practice videos we were used to seeing.\u201d<\/p>\n There seems to be a very good athmosphere. Together with Alexander Zverev, Jez Green, his physio Will Herbert and a German racket stringer are also on site at the Rafa Nadal Academy.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udcf8olga.koop Instagram pic.twitter.com\/zoQw1ECdbX<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 ilyza1002 (@ilyza1002) July 17, 2025<\/a> <\/p>\n View Tweet<\/p>\n This user said simply: \u201cHe looks a lot happier,\u201d while another noticed: \u201cThere\u2019s only smiles! This is so nice! Can\u2019t wait for some official news regarding Zverev\u2019s coaching!\u201d<\/p>\n Finally, this fan put: \u201cThe difference is really striking in comparison.\u201d <\/p>\n Some have also spotted Zverev playing nearer to the baseline with Nadal, including this viewer, who said: \u201cConsidering Zverev\u2019s played 6 to 8 feet behind the baseline for a couple of years, he must have been really confused with this drill!\u201d<\/p>\n love seeing him work near the baseline like that. hope it finally all comes together for zverev.<\/p>\n \u2014 Sphairistike (@Sphairistik8) July 18, 2025<\/a> <\/p>\n View Tweet<\/p>\n What Toni Nadal said about Alexander Zverev after his loss at Wimbledon<\/p>\n Following Zverev\u2019s exit from Wimbledon, Nadal wrote a column for El Pais<\/a> giving his verdict on the ATP<\/a> star. <\/p>\n He said: \u201cAfter years of being tipped to succeed the Big Three and having been among the best for many years, he never quite made the definitive leap that would allow him to reach this coveted position.<\/p>\n \u201cThe reasons for this have more to do with mental and emotional limitations than with any technical flaws in his tennis.<\/p>\n \u201cAs I\u2019ve said and written on several occasions, the difference between Alexander, on the one hand, and Djokovic, Federer, or Rafael, on the other, doesn\u2019t show when everyone is playing well \u2014 it shows when they\u2019re playing badly. <\/p>\n \u201cThe problem for Sascha is when things just aren\u2019t working out. That\u2019s when he usually loses. The other three, on the other hand, would often still find a way to win. They accepted adversity better and were able to turn a bad day into a victory.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Alexander](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/GettyImages-2223084273-1024x639.jpg\")
