Ivan Lendl has been hugely successful in helping Andy Murray to win his 3 slams and to conquer the top of the rankings, but will it be the same with Sascha Zverev?
Roger Federer doesn’t seem so convinced that Ivan will be decisive for Sascha to get to the very top because the Maestro thinks he will get there anyway.
Why Federer is doubtful
The world no.2 commented
“I feel like he’s right there, anyway.
So, I think adding or not adding anybody can make or not make a difference, you know.
He knows what it takes to beat the best. He knows what it takes to win tournaments, to win titles.
It’s not like he’s had a block at some stage. He’s been struggling at Slams maybe a little bit, sure, but he’s still young, so time is on his side.
Maybe Ivan can inject some wisdom and knowledge to pass that hurdle, you know. Maybe it’s an outside voice that the team needs, I’m not sure. So I think it’s going to be interesting just to see how they work.
I don’t know Ivan, to be honest, very well myself. But he seemed to have good success, yeah, with Andy exactly, and time will tell. I’m a big believer in Sascha, and I know him very well. I think he’s going to be incredibly successful regardless if Ivan is there or not.”
Unexpected.
NOT SO USEFUL?
