Alexander "Sascha" Zverev (German pronunciation: [alɛkˈsandɐ ˈzaʃa ˈzvɛʁɛf]; born 20 April 1997) is a German professional tennis player and the current world No. 3. He has been ranked as high as world No. 2 in men's singles by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP), achieved in June 2022. Zverev has won 25 ATP Tour–level titles in singles, including a major at the 2026 French Open, and three trophies in doubles. He has also won a gold medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and 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, 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 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, and has remained among the top players since 2024. He won his first major title at the French Open in 2026.
