Oliver Pocher is very knowledgeable about tennis. The comedian not only made this clear in the Instagram interview with Christopher Kas at "Kasi Live" in our "tennisnetnews" account, but also a few minutes later on Thursday evening in conversation with Alexander Zverev. However, many Pocher followers could not do so much with the portrait of Zverevs: "Who is the handsome man?" was not only asked once. Well: Obviously the best German tennis player who is currently stuck in Florida and would rather be with his girlfriend Brenda. Zverev saw the last one in Acapulco, after that the ways parted, the desired revival in Miami was canceled for corona reasons. A visit to the model in Florida does not seem expedient, says Zverev in an interview with Pocher, after all, his girlfriend would have to be in quarantine for two weeks.

He showed how good Pocher is in the topic when it comes to ATP rankings: Naming Roger Federer as the main professor. An assessment that Alexander Zverev also followed. After his match for Africa in Johannesburg, Federer underwent knee surgery and announced his return at the earliest for the now canceled lawn season. Due to the special corona situation, ATP decided to continue the points achieved in 2019 in the ATP world rankings. Federer therefore keeps a total of 2,360 points from the tournaments in Indian Wells, Miami and Roland Garros, which he could not have defended. "I wrote to him that he had to have some information from the Chinese about his knee. He just sent a smiley back." said Zverev.
Zverev with more than 3,000 points less than Nadal
The native of Hamburg, on the other hand, had a rather arduous start to 2019, even if shortly before the French Open, winning the ATP Tour 250 tournament in Geneva emerged. "The situation is stupid for me because I played very badly in 2019 for a very long time and have hardly any points to defend this year. Now I could collect a lot, but I can't and I'm stuck in seventh place." In fact, only one of the top seven players in the world won fewer points on the ranking in 2019 on sand: Daniil Medvedev . Compared to Rafael Nadal , the native of Hamburg lacks a whopping 3,010 points, and Novak Djokovic also scored not badly between Monte Carlo and Roland Garros a year ago.
