The best young player in the world

Jaroslav Filip

Maybe you already know him, he is the promoter of tennis clothes made by Adidas. He is son of really famous tennis player, you could think he is from Russia, because of his name, but that is not true at all, he is from Germany. His parents were born in Soviet Union, but they moved to Hamburg in 1991.

His name is Alexander Zverev. He started to play tennis when he was only five years old. He went into the professional league when he was just fifteen years old and that is really impressive. His five years older brother Misha plays tennis too, but he is not that good and not that famous, but when they play doubles together they show others that there is no one more cooperative and supportive than your own brother.

You could also know his trainer. There was a time in his career, when he did not want his father to train him anymore, so he started with our most famous tennis player from the past, one of the best players in the world, the fabulous Ivan Lendl. But there was a problem, that like one year later he didn't want to train him anymore, because of his tactic, Alex wanted to play from the bottom of the court, play passively aggressively and play defense, but Lendl wanted him to play aggressively, because he is tall and has the right technique, so they cancelled the contract and Sascha pleased his father to train him again. He lives with his family in Florida, but only in the winter, in the summer they move back to Hamburg.
