'Alexander Zverev can eye Grand Slam titles in 2019' – Rittner

In an interview to the DTB Tennis, the head of womens German tennis commented on potential and the German tennis situation overall. You can see there is a new excitement again, even if shouldnt get upset if you have a Wimbledon winner and an ATP Finals winner, she said about the co-operation between Lendl and Zverev. I think the 2019 season can be really good.

Zverev can eye Major titles and Angie can defend her Wimbledon title. But obviously the competition is very strong. Rittner also approved Angelique Kerbers decision to work with her new coach Rainer Schuttler: Angie took this decision once again in the right moment.

They got along perfectly both from a human and professional point of view. This is the ideal situation. Angie became more confident and you can see it from her performances. Rittner finally commented on the other German players: After her strong 2018 season Julie (Goerges) wants to confirm her successes.

It surprises me the intensity with which an entire generation starts a new season. Also Andrea Petkovic. Thats not granted after spending so many years on Tour. On reaching the Hopman Cup final with Kerber, Zverev said: Its nice to be back in a final.

Its nice to play Switzerland as well. We lost a very close match last year, and we definitely wanted to get there and compete for the title again. And thats why me and Angie decided after last years final that we are definitely going to come back here to Perth. ALSO READ: Rafael Nadal: Worse players than David Ferrer won a Grand Slam title
