Zverev plays hockey in Cologne with Auger-Aliassime

Ahead of Alexander Zverev and Felix Auger-Aliassime's first round matches in Cologne, Germany, the two met up with professional hockey player Leon Draisaitl and showed him a thing or two on the tennis court. Zverev and Auger-Aliassime also tried their hand at playing hockey.

The two seeded stars kicked off their day with a few light rallies with the Edmonton Oilers hockey forward. Draisaitl was all smiles, but decided in the end that it's best he stick to the ice rink.

Zverev and Auger-Aliassime would then drop their racquets and pick up a hockey sticks for a bit of fun. The two participated in unusual drilling organized by the German hockey star. They appeared to be working on their hand-eye coordination by balancing tennis balls with their hockey sticks.

Last weekend, Zverev topped Auger-Aliassime in the first ATP 250 held in Cologne. Perhaps their hockey workout will serve them well this week as they begin their second campaigns in the follow-up ATP 250 in Cologne on Wednesday.

No. 1 seeded Zverev is set to take on John Millman, while Auger-Aliassime will face Egor Gerasimov.
