Alexander Zverev is embracing the off-season in style, sharing a humorous video of himself playing a beach tennis match alongside his friend and doubles specialist Marcelo Melo, and his father, Alexander Zverev Sr. The trio took a break from the grueling ATP season to enjoy some fun and lighthearted competition on the sandy shores.

The video, which Zverev captioned “Holidays started but the competition continues 🦁vs🦒,” captures a relaxed yet spirited exchange of volleys and laughter. The lion emoji likely represents Zverev’s competitive spirit, while the giraffe symbolizes Melo’s towering presence on the court.
