Zverev Emulates Nadal in Negative Record at Grand Slam
Life is what happens while Alexander Zverev continues to fight for his first Grand Slam. And may it continue like this, as it will mean that we will all live many years. It wasn't meant to be for the German in 2025, defeated in the four major venues but in very different ways. If we add the first round at Wimbledon (Rinderknech) and the third round at the US Open (Auger-Aliassime), we will obtain a fact that defines the catastrophe well. The first top 3 player in the world rankings to suffer two consecutive first-week eliminations since... Rafa Nadal in 2005! On that occasion, the Spaniard reached the second round in London (Muller) and the third round in New York (Blake).
2005 - Alexander Zverev (Wimbledon, US Open 2025) is the first ATP top-three ranked player to lose in the opening week at consecutive GS events since Rafael Nadal (Wimbledon, US Open) in 2005. Crash.#USOpen | @usopen @atptour @ATPMediaInfo
