His manager was Patricio Apey since he was 15 . Zverev unilaterally terminated the cooperation in spring 2019, which led to an ongoing legal dispute. In August 2019, Zverev announced that it would now be marketed by Team 8 , an agency founded by Roger Federer and his manager Tony Godsick. The collaboration ended in January 2021.
