Both on and off the court, Alexander Zverev is one of the main figures on the circuit in these final weeks of the 2025 season. He has the opportunity to make the statement he has been announcing for some time at these ATP Finals 2025. Will he be able to?

Although Jannik Sinner is the clear favorite, Alexander Zverev could take advantage of these ATP Finals 2025 to establish himself as the third party in the rivalry between the Italian tennis player and Carlos Alcaraz. The world number three discussed this very situation during the Media Day in Turin.

"Honestly, right now I think everyone is far from Jannik and Carlos. It's not a perception; it's reality. This year I've had some issues, mostly physical problems, health difficulties, but when I've been healthy and able to compete, like I felt in the last few weeks in Vienna and Paris, I think I've also shown good tennis.

When I take care of my body and I'm at 100%, I feel I can compete with the best players in the world, but the perception of being distant from Jannik and Carlos is not a perception; it's reality," Alexander Zverev admitted, as reported by Ubitennis.

Alexander Zverev admits he preferred to be in the same group as Carlos Alcaraz

"I preferred to be in Carlos's group. To be honest, it doesn't matter. Well, it does matter, but obviously both are the best in the world. On this surface, indoors and hard court, and I believe the courts are faster than in Paris, I think Jannik is the strongest. I think Carlos would agree too. Anyone can beat anyone, but for the last two years, I was in the same group as Carlos and won both times. I had no preference for either. In fact, I was hoping they would be in the same group...".
