Coming to tennis, Zverev began the season in Australia. He competed initially in the ATP Cup and did not go far in the tournament. Post that, he was seen at the Australian Open and lost in the fourth round to Denis Shapovalov.

Not the best start to the season 

The result in Melbourne was a disappointment according to his standards. He was seen in Acapulco, but things did not go well for him there. During his loss in the doubles, he smashed his racquet on the chair of the umpire and that did get him disqualified from the singles category.

At the Indian Wells, he lost in the opening round. Now that he is in Miami, ready to compete at the Miami Open, where he will surely look to end the tournament on a high note as the tennis shifts onto the clay in the coming weeks. Nonetheless, we wish him the best of luck for the week ahead.
