The German who today challenges Sinner to the quarterfinals in Monte Carlo at this start of the season has been talked about more for extra-tennis issues than for the game, but the poor form of Djokovic and the stop of Medvedev launch him.
His year up to now has not been what it is said to remember, but a few weeks from now, the new number one in world tennis could be him. Alexander Zverev, 25, on April 20, current number 3, could climb the rankings to the top. Of course, his two main rivals, Novak Djokovic and Daniil Medvedev, are experiencing a 2022 almost worse than that of the German, with injuries, wars at home, crusades against the Covid vaccine and so on, but so be it. It is said that the numbers do not lie, the ranking maybe a little more.
