Alexander Zverev continues to receive criticism after losing the final of Wimbledon 2026 against Jannik Sinner. Despite playing one of his best matches of the season, Rennae Stubbs (Serena Williams' coach) believes that the German tennis player continues to fail in crucial moments, and that is what sets him apart from the world number 1.
"Do you remember when he turned around and shouted 'come on' to his team? It was over the top. I told him, 'Hey, you still have two sets to win against the best player in the world.' I felt like he thought he was going to win the tournament after winning the first set. As soon as he missed that forehand in the second set, it was over. It is in those moments when great players do not make grave mistakes. That was when he made his first grave error in a very important point, and I thought it was over," she said on 'The Rennae Stubbs Tennis Podcast'.
The forehand stroke, the key for Zverev to have more success
One of the strokes in which Zverev showed the most improvement was in his forehand, which at other times in his career was a burden against the best players in the world. However, Serena Williams' coach believes that it continues to be his weak point in crucial points. "This is not going to change until he is able to hit with that forehand when it really matters," Rennae concluded, who like other experts still sees Zverev several steps away from Alcaraz and Sinner.
Surprising the large amount of criticism that Zverev is receiving when he comes from winning his first Grand Slam at Roland Garros and has reached his first Wimbledon final after not surpassing the round of 16 in his entire career. Surely the German tennis player will turn a deaf ear and continue working, as he himself has acknowledged that he sees himself getting closer and closer to the Italian and the Spanish player.
