Alexander Zverev is a frequent topic in the media after his phenomenal performance at Roland Garros.
The German tennis player suffered various criticisms and pressures from all sides for years, but in the end, the 29-year-old managed to win his first Grand Slam title.
The goal he had been chasing for years had remained out of reach. However, with Carlos Alcaraz eliminating Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic on his way, Zverev managed to capture one of the most prestigious trophies in tennis and write his name into the history of the sport.
Immediately after the end of the tournament, the German tennis player could not hide his emotions and enthusiasm, saying that he took off a huge amount of pressure and that this kind of victory opens up many paths for him.
Experts and analysts are equally impressed by Zverev's game, considering that the last victory at Roland Garros could be the starting point for Zverev and an opportunity to try to win another Grand Slam title.
In the era of Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, such a task will be extremely difficult, but the 29-year-old has pointed out many times so far that he tries to be on their level and try to cause problems for one of them.
Patrick Mouratoglou reacts
Patrick Mouratoglou, the former coach of Serena Williams, highlighted the serious success of Alexander Zverev in his Instagram post. Mouratoglou praised the victory at Roland Garros, saying that Zverev still needs some time to reach the very top.
Ultimately, the famous coach believes that Zverev is still far from the level of Alcaraz and Sinner.
“Zverev is on the right path,” Mouratoglou, said in an Instagram post.
“But is he there? I don’t think so, not yet.
It’s a big milestone for him to win his first Grand Slam and be in the final of the next one, especially clay and grass,. He’s definitely reached another level.
Is he at the level of Alcaraz and Sinner yet? I don’t think so.
And even though he played some of his best tennis in the final, and Sinner was, I think, not at his best, he still didn’t win it.”
There is another side that believes that after winning Roland Garros, Alexander Zverev might lose the motivation that has driven him all these years.
The next challenge for the German tennis player will be the tournament in Montreal, Canada, and through his superiority in the game, the famous tennis player hopes for success both at this tournament and at the US Open.
Alexander's statements

"This court is very special to me for numerous reasons. I have experienced both the best and worst moments of my life on these courts.
I recall lying injured in a corner four years prior with multiple broken ligaments and fractured bones. I also remember losing a Grand Slam final there two years ago. However, this time, it is a happy ending."
