The German was categorical about the tennis he displayed in his defeat against Berrettini... and showed harshness and pessimism about his current situation. What's wrong with Sascha?
Alexander Zverev
Matteo Berrettini and Alexander Zverev starred in a fierce battle at the ATP Masters 1000 Montecarlo 2025. It was a tremendous, all-out fight that ended in favor of the Italian. One significant moment of the match occurred at 5-5, 40-40 in the third set. At that instant, both players engaged in a high-quality back and forth, showcasing pure clay-court tennis: Zverev sets up the point, presses with a cross-court backhand, but fails to finish the point... and Matteo transitions from defense to offense to hit a winning forehand, igniting the Monegasque crowd. 48 shots and a question: are we witnessing the best point of 2025? Don't miss it.
So engaging 🤯

Alexander Zverev will have a more than complicated debut in the Masters 1000 in Monte Carlo. The German is once again the number one seed, but that has not saved him from facing a tough and demanding opponent like Matteo Berrettini. The Italian wants to surprise on the Monaco clay and has sent a message to the German: "There are good conditions to make a move." So, we will have to see what happens on the court.

The fall of Alexander Zverev in the ATP Masters 1000 Montecarlo 2025 has clear and direct consequences on the ATP ranking. The tournament in Monaco could have tightened the top of the table, but the early defeat of the German leaves Jannik Sinner as the world number one until his return to the circuit in Rome. Sascha will no longer be able to accumulate the necessary points to surpass him, and since he defends the title in the Italian capital, he seems to be out of the fight in the short term. Not only that: Carlos Alcaraz now has a golden opportunity to rise to top-2 in the ATP ranking. If the player from Murcia wins the title in Montecarlo, he will reach 7720 points and surpass Sascha's 7595, returning to the world number two position. Will he achieve it?

The Italian overcame Zverev and roared again after one of the most exciting matches of the year. Is he becoming a threat again in the big tournaments?
The order of play for Tuesday, April 8th at the ATP Masters 1000 Montecarlo 2025 presents the first second-round matches. A day filled with stars, although still without the presence of Carlos Alcaraz or Novak Djokovic. The first seed, Alexander Zverev, will compete in a tough debut against Matteo Berrettini; the defending champion, Stefanos Tsitsipas, will close the day on Center Court against Jordan Thompson. Additionally, the first-round matches will be completed, with special attention to Pedro Martínez (starting at 11:00 against Lorenzo Sonego) and Roberto Bautista (not before 13:00 against Brandon Nakashima).
