Alexander Zverev spent Christmas 2024 in Australia to prepare for the upcoming tennis season. According to Antenne Münster he arrived in Australia two days before Christmas Eve to take part in the United Cup in Perth and Sydney. Although Zverev wanted to spend the holidays with his family, the schedule did not allow it.

Before he flew to Australia, Zverev took part in a football game from FC Bayern against RB Leipzig and celebrated the team's 5-1 win. His last tennis match took place on November 16 when he lost to Taylor Fritz in the semi-finals of the ATP finals. After this defeat, Zverev treated himself to a short vacation in the Maldives, where he only took two days without training.

ambitions for the future

Zverev is determined to win a Grand Slam title in the next six to seven years. In 2024 he scored 69 victories, won second place in the world rankings and won Masters title in Rome and Paris-Bercy. Nevertheless, he said that he was not completely satisfied with his season. He plans to make his playing style more aggressively and aggressive, although critics are accusing him of relying too much on his strengths, which Zverev denies.

The United Cup, in which Zverev participates, will introduce a new type of regulation: tactical breaks, which are activated by red buzzer on the edge of the field. Germany, represented by Zverev and Laura Siegemund, won the first edition of the United Cup and now competes against Brazil and China in the preliminary round.

regarding his 2024 season,

In addition, Zverev lost in the semi-finals of the Australian Open against Daniil Medvedev after he also had a two-set lead. In an exciting final of Roland Garros, he led against Carlos Alcaraz with two sets of one, but ultimately lost. At the US Open, too, he missed the final again after he had lost again against Fritz. Despite these setbacks, Zverev ended the 2024 season as number two in the ATP ranking, before Carlos Alcaraz, who won two Grand Slam titles this year.

In conclusion, it should be noted that Zverev won two Masters 1000 titles in Rome and Paris in the 2024 season and was the only player who successfully won 1000 titles on two different coverings in a season. His final defeat at Roland Garros against Alcaraz was the second Grand Slam final defeat in his career.
