It is difficult to definitively say whether Alexander Zverev still believes he can win a Grand Slam after his recent Wimbledon defeat. However, reports provide insights into his mindset and recent performances:
- Wimbledon 2025 Loss: Zverev suffered a shocking first-round exit at Wimbledon, losing to Arthur Rinderknech in a five-set match. This was his earliest Grand Slam defeat since 2019, which also occurred at Wimbledon.
- Mental Health Struggles: Following the loss, Zverev admitted to struggling with his mental health and feeling “alone” and “empty”. He is contemplating therapy to address these issues. He also expressed a lack of joy in both tennis and other aspects of his life, a feeling he hasn’t experienced before.
- Diminished Satisfaction: Zverev has spoken about the diminishing satisfaction he gets from winning matches, which once motivated him.
- Inconsistent Form: While Zverev reached the Australian Open final earlier in the year, losing to Jannik Sinner, he has experienced inconsistent form since then.
- Grand Slam Record: Despite being a top player, Zverev has yet to win a Grand Slam in 38 attempts. He has been a runner-up three times, including at the 2025 Australian Open.
- Still Ranked High: Zverev is currently ranked No. 3 in the world.
