TRAUMA: Alexander Zverev was involved in an accident that resulted in…
Alexander Zverev, who was formerly rated third in the world, is currently ranked seventh in the ATP rankings. He was born on April 20, 1997, into a family of tennis players, Alexander Sr. and Irina.
Irina and Alexander Mikhailovich Zverev were professional tennis players from the Soviet Union. They climbed to World No. 4 and No. 175 in their career rankings, respectively, in the 1990s.
When they came to Germany to play tennis after fleeing the Soviet Union, they were allegedly offered jobs at the Uhlenhorster Hockey Club in Hamburg. Ultimately, the two settled in Hamburg.
Mischa and Alexander “Sascha,” the two boys of Irina and Alexander Zverev, were raised to be professional tennis players.
Sascha began playing tennis at the age of one year and five months, and he credits his mother for his outstanding backhand.
He gave tennis his whole effort after losing in the opening round of a prestigious international junior tournament in Florida. The next youngest player to crack the top 20 is 20-year-old Alexander Zverev, who comes in after Djokovic.
Alexander Zverev had never won an ATP match prior to reaching the final four of the International German Open at the age of seventeen.
In the 2016 Halle Open semi-finals, he defeated Roger Federer, shattering the record of ten consecutive final appearances. It was at the 2016 St. Petersburg Open that he won his first ATP title.
To win the 2018 ATP World Tour Finals, Zverev overcame Roger Federer in the semifinals and Novak Djokovic in the title match. To this day, it remains the greatest title he has ever won in his career.
In 2018 and 2019, he reached the quarterfinals of the French Open. In the championship match, Zverev helped Team Europe defeat Team World’s Milos Raonic to win the Laver Cup 2019.
In the 2020 US Open final and the 2020 Australian Open semifinals, he delivered his best Grand Slam performance.
He’s already won 13 ATP titles ahead of the 2021 season.
In 2021, Alexander Zverev had a fantastic ATP season. Despite his Grand Slam form issues, the German managed to secure six trophies, including a gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics. In every aspect, this may probably be considered Zverev’s greatest achievement to date.
In his second ATP Finals encounter, the German also prevailed, proving his superiority in three-set battles against the world’s top players.
