Alexander Zverev is currently the most interesting figure in the world of tennis.
The German tennis player finally lifted the curse by winning the Grand Slam trophy. In the Roland Garros final, the experienced tennis player defeated Flavio Cobolli, securing his first Grand Slam title at the age of 29.
Immediately after such an extraordinary performance, predictions about his future began.
Analysts and experts ask one question: is winning Roland Garros an indication that Zverev will win several more Grand Slam trophies in the next season?
Boris Becker, a tennis legend, commented on Zverev’s chances of winning Wimbledon in an interview with Eurosport. The 58-year-old firmly believes that the German can win Wimbledon.
Explaining his point of view, Boris Becker stressed that Alcaraz is injured, while there are many question marks when it comes to Sinner’s future, which is why he believes Alexander can be dominant at Wimbledon.
“Is he suddenly the favourite at Wimbledon? For me, yes.
Alcaraz is injured, and with Sinner, no one knows how or when he’ll return.” he said.
Alexander Zverev will certainly be among the favorites after his last performance, but it seems that Jannik Sinner is still the leading favorite.
“Sascha has the serve for grass-court tennis; with that serve, you’re already in the semifinals. Of course, he has to adapt. If he’s as far back on the return at Wimbledon as he was in Paris, it won’t work. But he has what it takes to triumph at Wimbledon, too.” he continued.
However, most are wondering how ready Jannik is and how his body will react after his last elimination at Roland Garros. We have no doubt that Alexander will play with significantly less pressure and burden, aware that he has achieved his childhood dream and now has the opportunity to dominate.
Alexander Zverev on his chances
Alexander Zverev spoke about his goals and possibilities after winning Roland Garros in 2026, emphasizing that he now feels confident that he can win any tournament.
Immediately after his triumph in Paris, where he won his first Grand Slam title, Zverev and tennis analysts turned to the upcoming Wimbledon.
Zverev said that winning his first Grand Slam takes a huge weight off his shoulders. He admitted that last year he was in a difficult mental state and felt empty, but that this trophy restored his complete faith in his own abilities.
He stressed that after Paris he feels relieved and that his remaining major goal in his career is to become number 1 in the world, which is why he wants to maintain full focus and a high level of play in the upcoming tournaments.
What fans expect?
The opinions of tennis fans about Alexander Zverev’s chances at Wimbledon in 2026 are extremely divided and range from complete optimism to great skepticism.
It seems that his mixed results this season are the reason why it is difficult to set any expectations from the experienced German tennis player.
While some believe that his recent victory at Roland Garros gave him a key mental boost, others point to historical facts that are not in his favor when it comes to playing on grass.
A large number of fans on social media note that by winning his first Grand Slam in Paris, Zverev took off the enormous pressure of an “eternal talent without a Grand Slam title”. They believe that now with a “clear head” and winning mentality, he can play much more relaxed and bravely.
Fans are aware that a player with such a devastating serve and superb backhand in theory has the perfect weapon for a fast grass court. If he serves like he did in Paris, it will be extremely difficult to break him.
However, most people think that it is really difficult to set realistic goals and talk about the future of Zverev and the rest of the ATP competition. While this kind of victory can be significant for Zverev and make his job easier already at Wimbledon, the question is whether he can have the same motivation and desire to succeed just like he had at Roland Garros.
In addition, the question arises whether Jannik Sinner will allow a similar scenario again and how hard he worked to solve certain problems during this break.
Either way, Wimbledon could provide answers to many questions.
Of course, the spotlight will be on the two most famous names right now, Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev.
Carlos Alcaraz was also expected to be part of the story, but the Spaniard is injured, and we could see him return soon.
