Tampa (dpa) - For Alexander Zverev, the former US tennis star Andre Agassi is also a guide.
"I followed him all my childhood. I was always a huge Agassi fan, I used to wear this pirate scarf from him too," said the Hamburg man before Agassi's 50th birthday at the German Press Agency. A few years ago he also trained with Agassi. "I have his number and if I need advice, I also turn to him."
On Wednesday, the former world leader Agassi, who is married to the German sports icon Steffi Graf and lives in Las Vegas, has his birthday. "I wish him all the best and hope that he has 50 more years ahead of him," said 23-year-old Zverev.
