They complain constantly,” said Alexander Zverev’s older brother and manager, who himself played on the tour for years. “You have nice long rallies now, but that’s okay on the shoulders and the joints, and the matches just take so long,” Zverev added: “That didn’t happen before, it’s a huge issue.” In his opinion, those responsible should “bring back the old balls that existed ten, 15 years ago,” said Zverev: “Now they will be fuzzy balls.” On Friday, the 36-year-old will travel to Turin to meet his brother Alexander with the ATP Finals starting Sunday. “It’s an incredible achievement from Sascha that he’s in the top eight again and is in the finals,” said Mischa Zverev: “It shows how hard he trains, how dogged he is and how much he loves the sport loves.”Alexander Zverev has been drawn into a group with Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev and Andrey Rublev at the year-end tournament.
