Zverev hits grass form at right time
The Sentinel
|June 30, 2025
ALEXANDER Zverev feels he is returning to form on grass at an opportune moment as he readies himself for Wimbledon.
The German is preparing to make his ninth appearance in the tournament and will face the Frenchman Arthur Rinderknech in the first round.
En route to the Championships Zverev was in action at the Terra Wortmann Open in Halle, where he reached the semi-final, prior to which he lost to Taylor Fritz in the final of the Stuttgart Open.
"I had pretty good preparation. Played a final, played a semi-final, worked through those tournaments as well," he said.
"I think people are forgetting I’m still number three in the world and I’m number three in the race.
"I've had a few maybe losses here and there, which were normal, (some) which were maybe unexpected.
"All in all, I feel like my form has been coming back the last few weeks, few months.
"I'm looking forward to this championship. I think I can play well here."
