German tennis player Alexander Zverev will overtake Italian Yannick Sinner and become the world No. 1 tennis player for the first time this season.
FWD from RBC Sport: Zverev sets anti-record after winning the US Open Since the inception of the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) ranking, no one has managed to win more than one Grand Slam tournament per season without defeating opponents from the top ten at least eight times. However, Alexander Zverev beat only two tennis players from the top 10 all season - Taylor Fritz (in the quarterfinals of Wimbledon) and Ben Shelton (in the final of the US Open). In total, Zverev has played against opponents from the top ten nine times this year: five times, including two finals, he lost to Jannik Sinner and lost once each to Carlos Alcaraz (in the semifinals of the Australian Open) and Fritz (in the semifinals in Halle). At the same time, Zverev won the Roland Garros and the US Open, and also reached the Wimbledon final. X / LevAkabas
