Rafael Nadal's uncle Toni will not become Alexander Zverev's new coach, according to German magazine Sport Bild.
Toni Nadal reportedly declined the offer from the German player due to time constraints.
As he manages a tennis academy in Mallorca, serves as the director of the tournament on the Spanish island, and gives lectures, he cannot accompany Zverev on a regular basis.
The world number three, who was eliminated in the first round of Wimbledon, had recently been training at the academy. Additionally, reports suggested that Rafael Nadal, the long-time world number one, could act as an adviser.
In a video released by the Rafa Nadal Academy on Tuesday, Zverev did not comment on the coaching question but praised the duo.
The hardcourt season in North America has begun, with the US Open in New York starting on August 24.
At the Masters tournament in Toronto, which begins on Sunday, Zverev is seeded number one following the withdrawal of several top players.
