Alexander Zverev suggests the advantage he has over Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner after becoming world number one

Alexander Zverev secured the top spot in the upcoming ATP rankings and the year-end number one position following a victory over Tallon Griekspoor that advanced him to the quarter-finals. The German player acknowledged that while his rivals Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz spent significant time dealing with injuries, staying healthy remains a vital element of competitive tennis.

Zverev emphasized that his training regimen prioritizes physical endurance and strength conditioning above hitting practice during the off-season. He noted that although Sinner outperformed him earlier in the year when he suffered multiple consecutive losses to the Italian, maintaining physical availability allowed him to capitalize as his competitors faced lengthy sidelines absences.
