Troubles Mentally: Zverev Seeks Expert Assistance for His Issues
Alexander Zverev, the German tennis star and big hope for the upcoming tournament in New York, has opened up about his recent struggles with mental health and physical issues.
After a first-round exit at Wimbledon, Zverev spoke about feeling mentally stuck and lacking joy outside of tennis. Following this, he took a break and spent a lot of time with friends, feeling refreshed. However, he admitted that his mental issues are not something that can be resolved quickly.
During his break, Zverev flew to Mallorca to train at the academy of Rafael Nadal. Despite the opportunity to collaborate with Nadal's uncle Toni, a long-term collaboration did not materialize.
In New York, Zverev is accompanied by his father Alexander Zverev senior and his brother Mischa. The German number one has been experiencing back pain for the last few weeks. However, a recent blood test showed that his values were fine.
Zverev has been working on his mental health issues over several years and has now sought professional help. He hinted that he might need therapy for the first time in his life. The name of the person who supports him as a consultant in his mental work at the US Open in New York is not mentioned in the available search results.
Zverev suspects that painkillers may have been behind his physical issues at the Cincinnati tournament. He expressed uncertainty about the exact cause of his physical issues, suggesting that he may have taken too many painkillers, which might have made him feel bad.
Despite his struggles, Zverev describes the people around him in New York as "super." In the draw for the tournament, the German number one was paired with Chilean Alejandro Tabilo for his opening match.
Zverev mentioned feeling lonely and lacking motivation in the past. However, he now seems determined to make changes in his life, not necessarily related to tennis. He is hopeful that these changes will help him to regain his form and compete at the highest level.
