Alexander Zverev Prepares US Open Quest After Wimbledon Setback

Alexander Zverev is preparing for the 2025 U.S. Open with a renewed focus after taking a significant break following an early Wimbledon exit, which included time off from training and seeking professional mental health support. Known for his strong performances at the U.S. Open, where he has reached at least the quarterfinals in recent appearances and was the third seed entering this year's tournament, Zverev aims to finally secure his first Grand Slam title. His recent form includes strong showings at tournaments like Cincinnati, where he reached the semifinals with dominant wins, signaling good physical condition despite earlier season struggles. Zverev's draw at the U.S. Open is considered favorable, starting against Alejandro Tabilo, although he shares a half of the draw featuring top players like Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, who are also managing physical challenges. Meanwhile, the tournament could see surprises from unseeded players such as Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard and rising American Learner Tien, who have shown potential to cause early upsets. The event also features major storylines including Novak Djokovic's pursuit of his 25th Grand Slam and the continued strong presence of top contenders vying for the title.
