Zverev optimistic: Wimbledon victory? Why not!
In the last few days, Alexander Zverev has been on everyone's lips again, and not just because of his committed game. The Hamburg native competed in the tennis final in Stuttgart and despite the final defeat against the American Taylor Fritz 3:6, 6:7 (0:7), the 25-year-old professional showed great confidence. His own statement during the awards ceremony - "I'll win Wimbledon, don't worry" - caused quite a stir. When asked how serious this announcement really was, Zverev responded with a casual “Why not?” Mainpost reports.
The young athlete emphasized that he found the week in Stuttgart “very positive”. He felt that he got everything out of this tournament that was necessary to optimally prepare for the next event in Halle. There he will play his first game against the American Marcos Giron. Zverev is also convinced that he can improve even further in Halle in order to better master the challenges ahead.
A look back at the career
Zverev's career, which began at the age of 13, is peppered with numerous ups and downs. His greatest successes include the Olympic gold medal in Tokyo 2020 and a highest-ever world ranking of No. 2 in June 2022. He is currently in 12th place, which falls somewhat short of expectations given his previous successes. His statistics reflect a variety of exciting matches and tournament successes that have propelled him into the high spheres of tennis. The Wikipedia page reports on numerous other tournaments in which Zverev was able to show strong performances.
The evolution of his wealth is equally remarkable: in 2024, his net worth is estimated at $35 million. Zverev brings home over $200,000 a month, making him one of the highest-earning players in the tennis world. These revenues come not only from tournament wins, but also from appearances and brand partnerships. That's quite a sum for such a young guy. The site Vermögen Magazine shows how quickly careers and success can happen these days.
The path to Wimbledon triumph
Speaking of Wimbledon: Zverev has not been able to achieve the desired success there in his career so far in recent years. He has never made it past the round of 16. Nevertheless, he remains optimistic that he could make a big splash this year. The coming weeks could be crucial in gaining the right momentum for the tournament (June 30th - July 13th). The combination of Zverev's athletic ability and his family's influence is particularly impressive; Both his parents were professional players, and his older brother Mischa also made a name for himself in the tennis world.
His big goal remains clear: Zverev is in a race against time and the best players in the world, although he has always had a good knack for presenting himself on the big stage. It remains exciting to see whether he can finally make it among the best players at Wimbledon and, albeit with a wink, actually win the title. Only the coming weeks will show whether Zverev emerges from this phase stronger.
