Zverev can't handle the top 2... and neither the top 10

We have heard several times this season Alexander Zverev saying that he is not far from Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, although every time he faces them it ends in drama. The German, eliminated this Friday at the ATP Finals in Turin, shows a record of 4-11 against top 10 players, meaning he can't handle those above him and almost not those who follow below him. The statistic shows that Sascha is the third top 3 player in history to suffer so many defeats in a single season against opponents placed within the top ten. Statistics are never the most important, but this one is worth a look.

11 - Since 1973, only two ATP top-three ranked players have suffered more losses in a season to ATP top 10 opponents than Alexander Zverev (11) in 2025 - Jimmy Connors (13 in 1984) and Stefan Edberg (12 in 1992). Headloss. #NittoATPFinals | @atptour @ATPMediaInfo pic.twitter.com/Ga3XHi78xK
