The brutal fact that explains why Zverev has not yet won a Grand Slam
Alexander Zverev has once again fallen just short of winning a Grand Slam in the most painful way possible. After coming back from two sets down against Carlos Alcaraz and serving for the match, the German tennis player once again succumbed, highlighting a statistic that explains why the 'majors' elude him. 'Sascha' has faced a top 5 ranking player on 15 occasions in these tournaments, winning only one of them. In fact, it was against Alcaraz himself at the 2024 Australian Open.
There are few players more consistent than Zverev, but when it comes to the crucial moments, his nerves falter. He is already the fifth player with the most victories in Grand Slams that he has not won a title of this caliber. A fact that becomes irrelevant when facing the most important names in the final rounds.
