Alexander Zverev

Profile Overview

Alexander "Sascha" Zverev (German pronunciation: [alɛkˈsandɐ ˈzaʃa ˈzvɛʁɛf]; born 20 April 1997) is a German professional tennis player. He has a career-high singles ranking of world No. 2 by the ATP achieved in June 2022 and in 2026.
Zverev has won 25 ATP Tour singles titles, including the 2026 French Open, a gold medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and the 2018 and 2021 ATP Finals.
Zverev is a former junior world No. 1, and won a junior major singles title at the 2014 Australian Open. He had an early breakthrough on the professional tour, becoming one of the youngest ATP Challenger Tour title winners in history at the age of 17. As a teenager, Zverev won two ATP titles and upset then–world No. 3 Roger Federer on grass. At 20 years old, he became the youngest player to debut in the top 20 since Novak Djokovic. At the Laver Cup, Zverev played an instrumental role in Team Europe's early success, winning the clinching matches in 2018 and 2019.
After reaching his first major final at the 2020 US Open, Zverev enjoyed his most successful season in 2021 where he became an Olympic gold medalist. He suffered an ankle injury at the 2022 French Open, which required an extended recovery period. He rebounded in the following years to re-enter the top 10, where he has since remained a permanent fixture and reached four more major finals. In 2026, he won the fourth final at the French Open, his maiden major title.
