Winning the first championship of the season on his birthday, Zverev has a happy 28th birthday!

Yes, that's right, Zverev is 28 years old!

Even the first batch of post-95 generations who were once an absolute new force in tennis turned 30 this year, and Zverev, who was born on April 20, 1997, celebrated his 28th birthday yesterday.

Zverev's father represented the Soviet Union in the Davis Cup long before he immigrated to Germany, and his mother was also a professional tennis player in the former Soviet Union.

Zverev began playing tennis at the age of five, and Zverev's childhood idol was Federer, and at the age of seven he began a relatively systematic training at the Sardellbrook Tennis Academy in Florida.

As a teenager, Zverev showed great talent for tennis. After winning the Australian Open junior men's singles title in 2014, he was officially crowned world No. 1 in the junior category. That year, he was ranked 137th on the ATP Tour and became the first 17-year-old to finish in the top 150 in the ATP rankings after Rafael Nadal and Gasquet.

Zverev continued his professional career in 2015 when he made a surprise qualifying round at the Miami Masters, beating Gross in the first round to earn his first Masters main draw and hard court tour main draw victory.

At Wimbledon in June, Zverev defeated Temuraz Gabashvili in the first round of his first Grand Slam main draw victory. By the end of the 2015 season, Zverev had reached 83rd in the world rankings.

In the following seasons, a series of records were set! In 2016, the year-end ranking came to the TOP30; In 2017, he won two Masters championships, Rome and Rogers Cup; In 2018, he won the championship trophy of the year-end finals for the first time; 2020 US Open Men's Singles runner-up; 2021 Olympic Men's Singles Gold Medal and Second Year-end Finals Champion...... Zverev is definitely the leading figure among the post-95s players in tennis today.

Fast forward to the 2025 season, and Zverev showed excellent form at the beginning of the season, winning consecutive victories over Amber, Paul, Djokovic and other famous players at the Australian Open to reach the final again, and finally lost to Sinner in three sets to win the runner-up.

At the ATP 500 Munich Open last week, Zverev reached the men's singles final in front of his hometown and beat Shelton to win his 24th career title, "I've always loved winning titles in Germany and that's probably the most special thing I can do. ”
