Alexander Zverev's Ice Tennis Practice and Fan Aid at Montreal Open

Ahead of the National Bank Open in Montreal, German tennis star Alexander Zverev trained on a mixed‑surface court with ice‑tennis specialist Rob Worling, showcasing a novel ice‑tennis exhibition.

During a high‑temperature match on August 5, 2026, Zverev stepped away from play to give a struggling spectator an ice towel and bottled water, underscoring the tournament’s efforts to manage heat‑related health risks for fans. While several top players skipped the event, Zverev remained a favorite and a focal point of the tournament’s coverage.
