Zverev was a former junior world No. 1 and won a junior major singles title at the 2014 Australian Open. He made an early impact on the professional tour, becoming one of the youngest players in history to win a Challenger Tour title at just 17 years old. As a teenager, Zverev captured two ATP titles and defeated then-world No. 3 Roger Federer on grass. At 20, he became the youngest player since Novak Djokovic to debut in the top 20. Zverev has been a key figure in Team Europe’s success at the Laver Cup, securing the clinching matches in 2018 and 2019. After achieving his career-best results in 2021 and 2022, he suffered an ankle injury at the French Open but made a strong recovery, returning to the top 10 the following year.
