24-year-old German tennis star Alexander Zverev had one of the best seasons of his career this year. He won the ATP Finals and defeated Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals at the year-end tournament and the Tokyo Olympics as well. Subsequently, he went on to win the Olympic Gold Medal.

This year, he believes that he, along with World No. 1 and 2, Novak Djokovic and Daniil Medvedev, dominated the tour. Furthermore, he considers himself a part of the same bunch as them, despite lagging behind in Grand Slam success.

Significantly, Zverev singles out the two players in the same bracket as him. Interestingly, he did not name other top 10 players on the tour out of which Stefanos Tsitsipas and Rafael Nadal are the notable absentees.

Zverev previously stated how finally winning a Grand Slam and becoming the World No. 1 are his goals for the next season. Not only would he have to move past Medvedev, but he would also have to dethrone Novak Djokovic at the top spot. Novak finished this year as the World No. 1 for a record seventh time.

Zverev’s comments on the trio’s dominance aren’t unfounded. Among the three of them this year, they shared 4 Grand Slam titles, a Davis Cup title, the ATP Finals and the Olympic Gold.

Zverev talks about his increased confidence heading into next year. “The biggest improvement I have made was mentally,” he says. “I feel much more relaxed on the track and willing to show everyone what I am capable of.”

He then talked about defeating Djokovic at the ATP Finals in Turin. “Beating Djokovic in Tokyo and Turin has made me feel invincible,” he shared.

Out of the nine times the pair battled this year, Djokovic won 6 of those matches. However, in their last five meetings, Zverev seems to have the upper hand, with three wins to his name.

Moreover, the German youngster seems to have all the momentum on his side, as he currently holds a 2-0 consecutive streak against the Serb as they both head into the 2022 season with something to prove.
