German tennis icon Boris Becker criticized Alexander Zverev for publicly discussing his mental health struggles after a surprising early exit from Wimbledon. Despite Zverev’s potential as a future Grand Slam champion, he has faced controversies throughout his career.
While Zverev has excelled in major tournaments, he has yet to meet the high expectations set for him. His hopes of clinching a first major title at Wimbledon were dashed by a defeat in the opening round this year.
Following his loss, Zverev opened up about his challenges and received support from fans. However, Becker, a renowned Wimbledon champion, suggested that Zverev should have kept his personal struggles private.
Becker expressed confidence in Zverev’s ability to bounce back and achieve success, emphasizing the difficulties of reaching and maintaining the top spot in tennis. Zverev’s candid remarks about feeling empty and struggling with loneliness off the court have sparked concern among fans and the tennis community.
Apart from his on-court struggles, Zverev has also faced allegations of domestic abuse, which he has denied. Despite facing various challenges, Zverev is gearing up to compete at the upcoming Canadian Open.
Zverev is scheduled to face Australian player Adam Walton in the round of 64 at the tournament.
