Alexander Zverev, ranked third globally, acknowledges a significant gap between himself and top players Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. Plagued by injuries and a disappointing season with only one title, Zverev still secured his ranking but trails the leading pair by over 6,000 points. He expressed a need to catch up, not just for himself but for the rest of the tour, while reflecting on his 2025 season as a step forward despite not achieving his desired title wins.
