And when asked by Nine tennis expert Sam Groth in a post-match interview about his brother in the player's box, he made Mischa the butt of a rib-busting joke.<\/p>\n

"Tell me how important it is and how good it is to have that sort of support and what he brings to your team now," Groth said.<\/p>\n

A grinning Zverev pounced.<\/p>\n

"He doesn't bring much, to be honest," Zverev said before turning to Mischa in the crowd and laughing.<\/p>\n

"Thank you! That was funny.<\/p>\n

"I know, I appreciate that!" Zverev said as his brother chuckled.<\/p>\n

"There is one person in the stands and he laughed."<\/p>\n

Zverev then changed his tune and offered his brother, who's played professionally since 2005, and his dad a sincere thanks for their support.<\/p>\n

"It's great to have your family here, especially on the road when you play a lot of tournaments in a row and you get homesick," Zverev said.<\/p>\n

"Having my brother and my dad here is obviously great support.<\/p>\n

"We practice every day and he's trying to come back as well. We hope he's in the main draw next year. He's still trying to play, but for now he's doing a good job as a cheerleader."<\/p>\n

Mischa, who's ranked 270th in the world, failed to qualify for this year's Australian Open when he lost to Italian Gian Marco Moroni in the first round.<\/p>\n
