Tennis star Alexander Zverev has been seen practicing with legendary player Boris Becker ahead of the clay season. The intense practice session comes after the rumors about the duo teaming up to form a thrilling coaching partnership ahead of the ATP Monte Carlo Masters tournament.
Ahead of his opening game in the forthcoming 1000 Masters event, the 27-year-old star player was paired with Boris Becker, with the 57-year-old legend watching on closely. Notably, the six-time major champion has previously coached Holger Rune and Novak Djokovic.
This video, which has widely been shared on social media, seems to ignite speculations about the German star teaming up with Becker.

Alexander Zverev's struggling 2025 run so far!
The German-born star seems to have a golden opportunity to become the new world number one in the absence of Jannik Sinner. Notably, the Italian has entered the final month of his ban and will return to action ahead of the French Open 2025.
The tennis player had a great start this year, making it to the finals of the Australian Open 2025, suffering a straight-set defeat to eventual champion Sinner. Surprisingly, the world number two failed to continue his winning run from the first Grand Slam of the year as he suffered defeat at the Argentine Open, the Rio Open, and the Mexico Open.
After the 27-year-old player had a poor run in Indian Wells, as he suffered an opening defeat against Tallon Griekspoor, star player Arthur Fils stunned him in the fourth round of the Miami Open.
Alexander Zverev aims to get back to winning ways in the Monte Carlo Masters!
Despite his poor form, Alexander Zverev hopes to get back to winning ways in the forthcoming Monte Carlo ATP Masters, commencing on April 7th.
“Winning matches is the main part in order to build confidence and get into the right mindset. I definitely need to win some matches and to play good tennis. It can change quite quickly. In Miami I felt I was playing better than I was before and then I woke up with a bad neck just during that day — which was a bit unlucky for me — so I was a bit restricted. But even winning that match it can change quite quickly,” Zverev said on Saturday in Monte-Carlo.
