In the 41st attempt, Alexander Zverev will do everything he can to win his first Grand Slam at the current French Open. The fact that this has not yet been achieved despite three finals and ten advances to the semi-finals of major tournaments is primarily due to the competition from the world’s best. A look at the statistics reveals this.
It is now known that Jannik Sinner has beaten Alexander Zverev four times in 2026 and in the last nine comparisons. What is striking, however, is that the number three in the world rankings rarely has a positive record against the other players from the current top 10.
Specifically, Zverev is only ahead in a direct comparison against Felix Auger-Aliassime (WR 5), Ben Shelton (WR 6) and Alex de Minaur (WR 9).
The result in Grand Slams is even more remarkable: Here Zverev only leads in the duel with de Minaur and has a meager 4:14 victories overall.
