It will depend on Alexander's willingness to change and try new things," Safina comments on the potential collaboration between Zverev and Toni Nadal
Before starting the North American tour in Montreal, Alexander Zverev spent a week training in Mallorca at the Rafa Nadal Academy.
Under the supervision of Toni Nadal, the world No. 3 appears open to restructuring his team to increase his chances of winning a first Grand Slam title. In remarks reported by Tennis365, former world No. 1 Dinara Safina shared her thoughts on this potential collaboration:
"It would be interesting to see. Toni is a very straightforward person. I don’t know to what extent Alexander is ready to change and bring someone else into his team. We’ll see. In my opinion, the collaboration will largely depend on Alexander, on his willingness to change, listen, and try new things.
