Overview
A determined attitude complements Zverev’s impressive game – a combination that has quickly made the hard-working German a fan favorite worldwide. Making his sixth Laver Cup appearance for Team Europe, Zverev boasts a 7-2 singles record in the competition and helped lead his Team to all of their victories at Prague, Chicago, Geneva, Boston and Berlin.

Off Court
Zverev’s father Alexander Snr, a former pro who represented Russia in Davis Cup, is his coach. Mother Irina is also a tennis coach and older brother Mischa formerly competed on the pro circuit. The close-knit family travel together, along with Zverev’s dogs Lovik and Junior. ‘Sascha’, as he is known, grew up in Germany and idolized Roger Federer. He has previously worked with former world No.1s Ivan Lendl and Juan Carlos Ferrero.

Career
A former world No.1 junior, Zverev broke into the world’s top 100 at age 18 in 2015 and made his top-20 debut a year later. He is now a seven-time ATP Masters 1000 champion, winner of the ATP year-end finals in 2018 and in 2021, and recorded a career highlight at the Tokyo Olympics when he defeated world No.1 Novak Djokovic in the semifinals and Karen Khachanov to win gold. The 28-year-old reached his third Grand Slam final in Melbourne this year, falling to No.1 Jannik Sinner. Last year he clinched his first ATP Masters 1000 trophy in three years at Rome in May and, in 2o25, increased his singles tally to 24 titles after defeating Ben Shelton in the final at Munich.
