The 34-year-old, together with moderator Matthias Stach, evaluates what is happening in Roland Garros twice a day in the "Matchball" program and is also on duty every day as a co-commentator.
For Mischa Zverev it is not the first time in the Eurosport team. The former number 25 in the world has already accompanied the Olympic victory of his younger brother Alexander in Tokyo on the Eurosport microphone. Zverev not only wants to explain to the spectators "the small details that can often make big differences, but also to convey enthusiasm for tennis".
Mischa Zverev was already on site as an expert for Eurosport at numerous Grands Slams last year and reported on the tournaments in his video format "Mischa's Mission". During the French Open, the newly formed doubles Stach/Zverev will be broadcast daily at 8.30 p.m. with a round-up of the day's matches and an outlook on the upcoming night session. After the evening games, Stach and Zverev will report back with a final analysis of the tournament day.
Becker had presented the show "Matchball Becker" with Stach in recent years, but is currently serving his prison sentence in Great Britain .
