Alexander Zverev had a tough debut at Wimbledon 2026 against Alexander Blockx, whom he defeated in 4 tight sets to continue his successful Grand Slam streak after claiming his first title at Roland Garros. Additionally, during the press conference, he was asked about which court he would choose to win a match against Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz.

Grass is Zverev's least favorite surface since he has never gone beyond the round of 16 at Wimbledon, but this year his draw is opening up with surprising defeats like the one of Ben Shelton. 'Sascha' managed to seize a similar opportunity at Roland Garros, but he knows that at the All England Club, it all depends on him and his ability to raise his level in the upcoming rounds, where the quality of opponents will start to increase. Last year he was eliminated in the first round in a tight match very similar to today's, so whatever comes next will be an improvement.

Zverev recalls his 2025 first-round loss at Wimbledon

"Yes, I'm happy. It was actually quite a similar match to last year's (against Rinderknech), but with a better outcome for me. And of course, I'm happy to have moved into the second round and continue in the tournament."

His preferred surface against Sinner and Alcaraz

"I would choose a fast hard court. I think against the best, including Carlos, including Jannik... Well, it would be very difficult against Jannik on a fast hard court. It depends on who I'm playing, to be honest. If it's Carlos, definitely a fast hard court. If it's Jannik, maybe clay, even though he has beaten me twice this year."

Zverev reveals his expectations for Wimbledon after winning Roland Garros

"Honestly, for me, it's very different from Roland Garros. The draw doesn't really matter because I've only faced a top 10 player once in my career here, which was Milos Raonic, in 2017. Every other year, I've lost to players outside the top 10, so it's about me. It's about getting through my matches because maybe names like Jannik and Novak and all those players are in the other half of the draw, but for me, it doesn't matter, historically I haven't had to face them. It's about focusing on the matches ahead to reach those names; I think that's
the most important thing."
