Toni Nadal Ready to Revive Zverev Starting at the Australian Open?

Mentally and physically struggling, Alexander Zverev is going through one of the darkest periods of his career. But behind the distress, hope is reborn: Toni Nadal and a potential collaboration starting at the Australian Open cannot be ruled out.

Alexander Zverev is not the man we expected at the end of this season. World number 3 on paper, but unrecognizable on the court. In Shanghai, the German suffered a brutal defeat against Arthur Rinderknech, another underperformance adding to his complicated season.

But while no positive signs seem to be appearing ahead of him, Zverev might turn to Toni Nadal, "Rafa's" uncle, in hopes of reviving his career, as he explained in an interview reported by Tennis World Italia:

"We are in contact. We talk a lot about what next year could look like. But for now, there is no news; I will keep you updated as soon as I know more. I would love for him to come to Australia with me to start, so we'll see!"

This connection with Toni Nadal, already initiated during a stay in Majorca in recent months, could potentially mark a major turning point.
