Zverev is yet to win a Grand Slam title. Thus, he is now a member of the list of players who have won the most number of ATP titles without achieving a major. Interestingly, the German is tied for the 13th spot on the list with Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Marcelo Rios- who have also attained 18 titles without winning a single Slam.

With the upcoming Paris Masters, Zverev will be hoping to move one notch higher in the list before leaving it altogether as soon as possible. Even his arch-rivals, Dominic Thiem and Daniil Medvedev, have won one Grand Slam title each – the US Open 2020 and 2021.
The German’s best performance at a Grand Slam came at the US Open 2020 where he finished as the runner-up, losing to Thiem in the finals. It was an extremely tight contest which went right to the wire, and Thiem emerged victorious after the 5th set tie-breaker.
