Boris Becker has spoken again about the figure of Alexander Zverev after his triumph at Roland Garros 2026, stating that he sees him as the favorite to win Wimbledon 2026 after securing the first Grand Slam in Paris. The German tennis player is full of confidence, and his compatriot does not consider Jannik Sinner at the same level after his recent physical problems.

In statements to Eurosport, Becker has explained his reasons for believing that Zverev will win his second consecutive Grand Slam, a prediction influenced by the form of his two main rivals. "Is he suddenly the favorite at Wimbledon? For me, yes. Alcaraz is injured, and as for Sinner, no one knows how or when he will return. Sascha has the perfect serve for grass court tennis; with that serve, you're already in the semifinals. Of course, he has to adapt, but he also has what it takes to succeed at Wimbledon," he concluded.

Why is the grass court season Zverev's unfinished business

However, the fact remains that the grass court season has always been 'Sascha's' weak point, as he has never been beyond the Wimbledon round of 16. Regardless of his strong serve, neither his slice shots nor his volleys are his strengths, which are essential to go far on such a surface. Nevertheless, his confidence today is very high, so if there's a moment for him to turn the situation around, it's now.

As Becker rightly says, Carlos Alcaraz will not participate in the tournament, although the physical ailments of Sinner were only momentary at Roland Garros, so unless there are surprises, he will arrive in London ready to try to defend his title. Besides, we must not forget about the presence of Novak Djokovic, who despite his third-round exit at Roland Garros, is always a favorite for this tournament. He reached the semifinals last year and knows that in 2026 he has a golden opportunity to clinch his fifteenth Grand Slam title.
