Alexander Zverev is currently experiencing one of the sweetest moments of his career after achieving his first Grand Slam at Roland Garros 2026. However, for Patrick McEnroe, the German tennis player is not among the favorites to win Wimbledon, placing other names ahead like Taylor Fritz or Ben Shelton.

In an interview with SportsBoom, the former tennis player and American analyst emphasized that there are several names ahead of Zverev for the third major of the season, as the grass court tour remains 'Sascha's' pending task. In fact, he has never made it past the Wimbledon quarterfinals, and at last week's ATP Halle, he was already eliminated in the semifinals against Fritz himself, who has been his nemesis for several seasons.

"I wouldn't consider Zverev a favorite. I would put Fritz ahead of him. Fritz won a very close match against him. I would probably put Shelton slightly ahead of him," he revealed. While Fritz is a specialist on this type of surface and already reached Wimbledon semifinals last year, it's surprising that McEnroe also ranks Shelton ahead of the German. Nevertheless, Ben just won the title in Stuttgart, hence his opinion.

McEnroe has a clear favorite for Wimbledon 2026

Above these players, there are two names that stand out above the rest for the American analyst: Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner. The Italian player, despite his physical problems at Roland Garros 2026 (has not competed since then), is the reigning champion, while Nole has won up to 7 times at the All England Club, so one should never underestimate him in such a special tournament for him.

"In the men's category, Sinner is the favorite without a doubt. I would probably consider Djokovic as the second favorite at the moment because I think he played quite well in Paris, although he lost early. But I think he played three quality matches, so that will give him confidence," he concluded. The main concern for the Serbian player, as in the Italian's case, lies in his physical condition, but the grass court tour is not as demanding as the clay one, so that should not be a problem.

Moreover, despite Zverev taking a back seat, it's important to note that he has relieved a great burden by winning Roland Garros, as he lived with the constant pressure of not having a Grand Slam. This could be a double-edged sword for Wimbledon, as it could make him play more freely or, conversely, with less ambition to reach the final rounds.
