He has won 22 ATP Tour titles in singles and two in doubles, and contested two major finals at the 2020 US Open and 2024 French Open.

Known for his powerful serve, strong baseline play, and agility on the court, Zverev turned professional in 2013. A former junior world No. 1, he won the 2014 Australian Open Boys Singles Title in Melbourne and was named 2015 ATP Newcomer of the Year.

At the Laver Cup, Zverev played an instrumental role in Team Europe's early success in the competition, winning the clinching matches in 2018 and 2019.
