Overview
- On his Served podcast, Andy Roddick said Alexander Zverev should not be judged solely on Grand Slam trophies and called his overall resume exceptional.
- Roddick recommended “blunt force” aggression from the first shot, including serve‑and‑volley plays and rushing off second serves rather than waiting deep into rallies.
- Zverev ended 2025 ranked No. 3 with a single title in Munich, and he is reported to hold 373 weeks in the top 10 without a major.
- The German has reached three Slam finals — 2020 US Open, 2024 Roland Garros and the 2025 Australian Open — as Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner have dominated recent majors.
- He will open 2026 at the United Cup in Sydney for Germany, with projected matches against Tallon Griekspoor and Hubert Hurkacz, before heading to Melbourne for the Australian Open.
