Stefanos Tsitsipas and Alexander Zverev do not seem to share a great relationship. However, that doesn’t mean they do not like training together. Both players are currently in Rotterdam, where they are about to commence their run at the prestigious ATP500.

Stefanos Tsitsipas will play Egor Gerasimov in the first round in Rotterdam. Even if Tsitsipas is widely expected to reach the second round, Gerasimov is a though customer on indoor courts. He has recently reached the semifinal in Montpellier, where he has also upset Andy Murray in the first round.
Sascha Zverev will be opposed to Alexander Bublik that is definitely in great form, but he is now playing the final in Singapore and therefore there are obvious doubts about his participation in the Netherland. Sascha Zverev and Bublik have never played against each other so far.
