Alexander Zverev is a German professional tennis player, born on 20 April 1997 in Hamburg. The son of a tennis-coaching family of Russian origin, he rose to the very top of the men’s game as one of the sport’s biggest servers and most powerful baseliners, standing 1.98 m tall.

For years Zverev carried the label of the best player without a major, runner-up at the 2020 US Open and the 2024 French Open, an Olympic singles gold medallist in 2021, yet without a Grand Slam. That changed at the 2026 French Open, where he finally lifted his maiden major and cemented his place as world No. 3.

Based in Monte Carlo, he now turns to Wimbledon 2026 with fresh confidence, but also a clear gap to fill: grass, where he has never passed the fourth round. As Germany’s leading man, his pursuit of a first deep run at the All England Club is one of the tournament’s storylines.
