Alexander Zverev has labeled his 2025 season as “terrible,” though he is determined to deliver his best tennis at the upcoming US Open, the season’s final Grand Slam. Despite beginning the year strongly with a runner-up finish at the Australian Open (losing to Jannik Sinner in straight sets), he has struggled to find consistency since and suffered a notable early exit at Wimbledon, falling in five sets to Arthur Rinderknech[1][6].
Currently, Zverev is ranked world No. 2 in the ATP rankings, with a season win rate of 70.4% (19 wins, 8 losses in 2025). He continues to show strong serving stats, hitting 67.8% first serves in and averaging 5.75 aces per match. Over the trailing 12 months, he has maintained a win rate of 76.7%[2]. Zverev’s 2025 record at Masters 1000 events has been underwhelming, as he has not reached a semifinal across these tournaments to date[1].
Most recently, fresh off his Wimbledon loss and a period of rest and training (including at the Rafa Nadal Academy), Zverev secured a win over Alexei Popyrin at the ATP Toronto event. He noted that, for the first time in a while, he felt he was “actually feeling the ball well on the racquet,” signaling hopes for a turnaround in form as he prepared for a match against Karen Khachanov in the next round[3].
Zverev’s next major outing is anticipated at the Cincinnati Open, where he is one of the headline players alongside Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, potentially setting up high-profile semifinals clashes before the focus shifts to the US Open[5].
