“He is a champion in making,” Former World No.2 Tommy Haas shows his belief in Alexander Zverev in winning Grand Slams

Alexander Zverev has been having a tough year dealing with injuries and other complications. He could not go past the fourth round at the Australian Open 2022 and even suffered a serious right ankle injury during the semi-finals at the 2022 French Open against Rafael Nadal. Soon, he underwent surgery and was advised to a few weeks of rest and he could not participate in the Wimbledon Championship 2022. Even during the ATP tour in February, he had a small disagreement with the chair umpire and was fined and a suspension if such a thing happens again.

Zverev, currently World No 2 in the ATP rankings,his career-best rankings, is a gold medalist at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. He reached his first Grand Slam final at the 2020 US Open but faced defeat from Dominic Thiem. He has won 19 ATP Tour titles in singles and two in the doubles category but is still looking for his first-ever Grand Slam title.

“Alexander Zverev has sets of people around him”: Tommy Haas

Zverev, who made his debut into the Top-3 rankings in the year 2017, is currently recovering from his injury and is anticipated to play at the 2022 US Open which starts on August 29. He no longer requires crutches and he has returned to the gym. Former World No 2 and currently the director of the BNP Paribas Open tournament, Tommy Haas is himself an Olympic silver medallist. He, recently in an interview, spoke in appreciation of his compatriot and is hopeful that he will soon win titles at the Grand Slam events. He said “Alexander was in top form when he got injured. It’s the first time he’s been stopped dead for so long in his career. I’m sure we won’t wait long after his return to see him back at the top of world tennis.”

Haas is hopeful that in the future, Zverev will go on to win Grand Slams as he has the best support system with him as he has just started playing and has a long way to go. He further added, “After a re-education like the one he is doing, you have to regain strength, energy, and then confidence. Well, I think Sascha can do it, especially because he has a lot of people around him and that really counts in this kind of situation.”
