Things have gone from bad to worse for Alexander Zverev, as the German was outclassed by Carlos Alcaraz at the 2023 Madrid Open. The German was defeated in straight sets by the in-form Spaniard, who dropped just three games to march into the quarterfinals.
Alexander Zverev will drop out of the top 20 rankings on the back of his poor results this season. The 2020 US Open finalist lost in the second round of the Barcelona Open a couple of weeks ago. He failed to make a notable impression at the Monte Carlo Masters as well, where he was defeated in the last 16.
Alexander Zverev returned to action in early 2023, after a six-month injury layoff. The 2018 Nitto ATP Finals Champion has looked like a pale shadow of himself in the recent couple of months, which has caused this sudden dip in rankings. He will look to make some amends at the 2023 Italian Masters before we go into the all-important French Open.

Barring his semifinal run in Dubai, the 26-year-old has often put on underwhelming performances this season.
