He hit rock bottom, but it seems that after a few days of rest and reflection, Alexander Zverev has regained his desire to fight against the established power. It's what he has been doing since the beginning of his career, when he dominated the Big 3, and now he faces two emerging forces. He explained the differences between these stages and reaffirmed his belief in becoming a Grand Slam champion.

A disappointing season, filled with missed opportunities and problems on and off the court. Alexander Zverev is not going through his best moment, but he seeks to regroup as soon as possible for the final stretch of the year. The dream of being a Grand Slam champion turned into an obsession long ago and, if everything stays the same, it may soon be perceived by many as a utopia. Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz continue to make their mark above the rest, and the German spoke about it in words collected by tennis365.com.

"Tennis has changed a lot in recent years. I'm not saying Alcaraz and Sinner are better or worse than the Big 3 but, they definitely hit the ball with more power and make the game faster. In any case, there is currently great depth in the circuit, we have potential champions of major tournaments in the entire top-30, whereas when Roger, Rafa, and Novak were dominating, it was impossible to consider that the 25th in the world could achieve great success. The top players never perceived a player of that rank as a threat, but that has changed," explained the Teutonic player.

- Zverev remains convinced he will win a Grand Slam

The disappointment suffered at Wimbledon plunged Alexander Zverev into a deep moral pit, as he himself revealed in a press conference, but once the days have passed, he seems more optimistic. "It's clear that Jannik and Carlos are above the rest right now, but I am still convinced that I will win a Grand Slam. I don't know where it will be, but I truly don't care, I know I have the necessary level to achieve it," admitted the current world No. 3, who will seek glory at the US Open 2025, although to arrive with guarantees of success, it will be important for him to perform well on the previous tour, with the tournaments in Canada and Cincinnati as benchmarks.
