Zizou Bergs transforms when he hears the Belgian anthem. The number 43 in the ATP ranking appears as a completely different player when representing his country, whether in the Davis Cup or the United Cup.

The latest example was seen in the 2026 United Cup, where he boasts two wins and one loss, with victories against two top 20 players. First, he defeated a Top 10 player like Félix Auger-Aliassime, giving him no chance (6-3, 6-2), followed by another great win against the world number 18, Jakub Mensik, with a score of 6-2, 7-6(4).

Two months earlier, he also defended his country's colors with a remarkable performance in the 2025 Davis Cup finals, guiding Belgium to the semifinals after defeating Arthur Rinderknech. Despite the loss and missing seven match points against Flavio Cobolli, almost pushing the tie against Italy to a decisive doubles match.

Now, he has led Belgium to the semifinals of the United Cup 2026. Before battling for a spot in the final against Switzerland's Stan Wawrinka and Belinda Bencic, Bergs shared his patriotic feelings in a press conference along with improvements in his game for 2026.

Predicting a bright future for Belgian tennis

"I just realized we are among the top four, which is crazy. We made it to the top four in the Davis Cup and now with the mixed format again. Belgium is gradually becoming a great country. We are small, but we are starting to perform greatly."

Zizou Bergs explains the reasons behind his outstanding tennis when representing Belgium

"I feel like these formats, the Davis Cup and the United Cup, bring out the best in me. It's something you do with a team where everyone cheers you on. This role of responsibility also comes naturally to me. I'm really enjoying it."

"I am very patriotic and try to bring that to the court. I feel that not only the bench is with us but also the people back home give us that extra push. So far, we have always capitalized on that very well."

Satisfied with his preparation for 2026 and improvements in his game

"I did a very good job during the preseason. Also, if we look, for example, at the service speed or the services in general, I think we improved a lot from last year. There is still a lot of work to be done on the service."

"If we look at the forehand stroke, it has improved a lot from last year. Just playing with the right intentions, with smarter tennis. I also think having a great team around me that guides me well helps. We always try to improve, even if it's just 1%, but many times we achieve more than 1%," ensures a Zizou Bergs who will be closely watched in this 2026.
