The 8 tennis players with two Grand Slam titles in their careers: Is Zverev the best of them all?

Alexander Zverev is part of a privileged place in tennis history, having two Grand Slam titles in his collection. The German had to fight the unimaginable against his rivals and his own demons for many years to break through, but this triumph at the US Open 2026 only reaffirms his status as a historic player and elevates his standing.

Proof of this is that he matches the record of Grand Slams won by such recognizable legends as Yevgeny Kafelnikov, Patrick Rafter, Marat Safin, Lleyton Hewitt, Sergi Bruguera, Stan Smith, Johan Kriek, or Ilie Nastase. Of all of them, only Bruguera, Kriek, and Smith never reached number 1 in the world, making that the next great challenge for the German player.

Zverev wants to increase his Grand Slam title count

It is evident that Alexander Zverev's sports career has experienced a tremendous boost this season, making 2026 a year the German will not forget. His ambition will know no bounds now that he has tasted the sweet nectar of tennis paradise, so he will seek to increase his Grand Slam title count in 2027, aiming for Wawrinka, with 3, and dreaming of matching legends like Courier or Vilas, who have 4.

Many wonder if, from this list of champions with two Grand Slam titles, Alexander Zverev is the best of them all. To clear any doubts, the German should also hold the honor of being number 1 in the world, something he will seek in the coming months and could achieve considering the good base he has, as well as the current moment of Jannik Sinner, who is waiting to return after his knee injury. What is clear is that Alexander Zverev has earned a privileged place in tennis history.
