He already vultured a lot during 2020-23 against the likes of Ruud, Medvedev, Berrettini, Kyrgios, Tsitsipas. With the arrival of Sinner and Alcaraz, Djokovic’s luck finally ran out and thank God for that.
Zverev has now lost 17 of his last 20 matches against Top 10 players.
Wins: Shelton (2), Musetti
Losses: Sinner (8), Fritz (3), Alcaraz (2), FAA, De Minaur, Djokovic, Musetti
for the record idgaf about how good of a tennis player people think zverev is or whatever all i care about is that he is a man who has been violent towards women and is still being celebrated and platformed as if that behaviour is acceptable
This is why I will never understand the "zverev deserves a slam" crowd. Against what is the weakest slam finalist in recent memory he is in a five-set dogfight.
He simply hasn't ever been good enough to break through.
This is a good time to bring up this article for new tennis fans. A harrowing reminder of what victims of abuse endure and the lengths institutions go to in order to protect abusive men like Alexander Zverev.
