Zverev has reached two Grand Slam finals and two semifinals but is yet to taste success on the biggest stage - and Roger Federer has told him why.

Roger Federer has told Alexander Zverev that he won't win a Grand Slam tennis title unless he plays more offensively. Zverev has lost in two finals and two semi-finals over the course of his career and he currently sits second in the ATP's world rankings.

Zverev has played a solid season so far and is not too far from Sinner in the ATP Race, but he has failed to raise his level in the decisive moments of the Grand Slam tournaments. The Majors have been a curse for the German player ever since he lost that incredible final against Dominic Thiem at the US Open in 2020.

Alexander Zverev has revealed critical comments from Roger Federer are “nothing I don’t know” after the Swiss great questioned the German’s approach to Grand Slam matches. Zverev has recently returned to his career high of world No 2 and is the winner of 22 ATP singles titles,

Despite being second in the ATP ranking, Alexander Zverev still doesn’t fully convince fans and insiders. Although Novak Djokovic has been in decline this year, Roger Federer retired in 2022 and Rafael Nadal played only one Major in 2024, the German champion has not yet managed to win a Grand Slam title.
