Masters 1000 titles, a top three ATP singles ranking, and now an ATP Finals win make Alexander Zverev one of the best players in the sport today.

Age is just a number and in this case, Alexander Zverev’s age is on the younger side of the scale.

At just 21-years-old, Zverev has added several Masters 1000 titles, a top three ATP singles ranking, and now an ATP Finals championship to his resume. He has done it all brilliantly and there is much more to come from him.

Tennis legend Boris Becker sees the ATP Finals title as a huge moment for the sport. He also sees Zverev’s working with Ivan Lendl as a recipe for greatness. It is clear that Sascha has arrived onto the scene and that, so long as he remains healthy, he will go down in the history books.
