It might be somewhat paradoxical to say that Alexander Zverev is as close to winning a Grand Slam as he is far from it. The German has already had three unsuccessful attempts in finals of this caliber, coming close to success, but from a distance. Zverev couldn't defeat Jannik Sinner in this latest opportunity at the Australian Open, something that could make him lose hope of lifting a Grand Slam title someday. Is he close to achieving it or, on the contrary, farther away after encountering 'failure' once again?

The reality is that it is too early to give up even though the German is aware that he coexists on the circuit with great players like Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. The last 5 majors have been won by these two, making it difficult for players like the German to win his first title. He already experienced what it's like to lose a final at Roland Garros last year against the player from Murcia, and now he knows what it's like to be defeated by Jannik in another final in Melbourne.

There, the German has achieved good results in recent years, reaching at least the semifinals since 2021. In a few months, he will have another opportunity, although Arnaud Clément doubts that the German can change his luck. The former French tennis player believes that he will have to change things in his game to take that last step that has been so elusive to him: "I hate to be strict, but I don't think he has many chances of winning a Grand Slam soon. If there are no more improvements in his game by Roland Garros, he will hardly be able to win."

Zverev's opportunities lie in the absences of Sinner and Alcaraz

The only reasons why Sascha does not already have a major title at home are named. According to Clément, for Sascha to achieve his big dream, both would have to be out of the tournament. "If Sinner is suspended due to a doping case and Carlos Alcaraz is injured, perhaps Sascha would have a chance. However, if these two players are in good shape, the German has no chance of defeating them," admitted Clément. Although the German has beaten both before, a Grand Slam final is a different story, and for now, luck is not on his side.
