Alexander ("Sascha") Zverev (German pronunciation: [alɛkˈsandɐ ˈtsfeːʁɛf];[4][5][6] born 20 April 1997), is a German professional tennis player and the current ATP world No. 2. He has won 23 ATP Tour titles in singles and two in doubles, and has been runner-up at two Grand Slams, the 2020 US Open and 2024 French Open.
His career highlights include a gold medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and titles at the 2018 and the 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 as well, becoming one of the youngest 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 has played an instrumental role in Team Europe's early success in the competition, winning the clinching matches in 2018 and 2019. After reaching his career-best results in 2021 and 2022, he suffered an ankle injury at the French Open, from which he recovered to re-enter the top 10 the following year, being among the 25 players all time with the most time in the top 10.[7]
