Although he has not yet won a Grand Slam title, Alexander Zverev can still be considered a great champion having shown remarkable consistency at the highest level and being able to boast very prestigious trophies (the ATP Finals, the Olympic gold medal and several Masters 1000).
The German champion is trying in every way to realize his huge dream of winning a Major title, but he still needs to improve in some aspects to be able to prevail over Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz in the final stages of the most prestigious tournaments on the calendar.
The current world number 2 has played very well in 2024, showing that he is back at the highest level after the serious ankle injury that could have compromised the continuation of his career in the spring of 2022.

Last year, Sascha won two Masters 1000 (Rome and Paris-Bercy) and overtook Carlitos Alcaraz in second place in the rankings thanks to an excellent end to the season.
His 2025 started in a very positive way with the final at the Australian Open, but the clear defeat against Sinner has certainly left its mark on his mind.
The Germanace returned to action on the red clay in Buenos Aires this week and debuted with a two-set win against Dusan Lajovic yesterday.
Alexander Zverev Sr. talks about Sascha
There is no doubt that one of the secrets behind Sascha's rise in professional tennis is his father Alexander Zverev Sr., who has always been by his side both as a father figure and as a coach.
In a longinterview with the ATP's official website, Zverev Sr. discussed his relationship with Sascha on and off the court: "The key to success in any area of life is to work hard and always give 100%. I have always been close to Alexander during his career, as well as his brother Mischa, who helped him a lot even after he stopped playing. They have always helped and motivated each other.
