“In Hamburg, only my father is there as a trainer. Ivan got a puppy two months ago, which he is now teaching how to go to the toilet. That’s really his main focus at the moment: golf and the little dog- I told him openly that he should focus more on tennis.

After the quotes from the alleged interview have been picked up by some media giants, the 27-year-old had no different alternative however to react. In his message, the 27-year-old highlighted that he hasn’t spoken with any media members this month – and most significantly – that he hasn’t made any public feedback about Lendl since they cut up.

“So, apparently I gave an interview about my coaching relationship with Ivan Lendl recently, which is not true. In fact, I have not spoken to anyone from the press since my foundation event in Tannenhof one day after Turin, and I have not made any comments about my coaching relationship with Ivan Lendl in more than five years,” Zverev wrote on his Instagram Story.

“I understand that everybody is very bored right now because it is the off-season and not much is happening except a lot of hard work, but this shows once again that some stories have to be completely made up by very bad journalism to keep readers interested in made up drama. See you all soon in Australia.”

In the meantime, Zverev is about to start out his 2025 season on the United Cup after which he’ll attempt to win his maiden Grand Slam title on the Australian Open.
