Alexander Zverev has endured a mixed 2022 season thus far. Although having a consistent run across tournaments, the German tennis star has failed to deliver when it has mattered the most. Moreover, he is yet to win a title this season. The former US Open finalist has made it to the finals on two occasions this year, having lost in both of them.
Last week, Zverev was in Rome to participate in the Italian Open. He reached the semifinals of the tournament before losing out to Stefanos Tsitsipas in the last-four clash. In a keenly fought encounter, Tsitsipas prevailed in three sets 4-6, 6-3, 6-3. Recently, some tennis stars, including Zverev, named the famous person they want to meet.
