You might see him much more often next year," says Zverev about his collaboration with Toni Nadal
Alexander Zverev spent a week at the Rafa Nadal Academy during the month of July.
The three-time Grand Slam finalist trained under the watchful eye of Toni Nadal, with whom the groundwork for a future collaboration was discussed.
As a guest on the *Nothing Major* podcast, the world No. 3 revealed that this partnership with Rafael Nadal’s uncle would become more concrete during the 2026 season:
"I really enjoyed that week, I had a lot of fun. I think Toni enjoyed it too. I also got to spend quite a bit of time with Rafa, which was very kind of him. I don’t know if you’ll see much of Toni this year.
His schedule is packed, between the conferences he gives and his duties at the academy. You might see him much more often next year.
