Alexander Zverev's Grand Slam records
Despite numerous big titles, Zverev waited a long time for his first major. In 2026 he ended that wait with two tournament wins at once, setting several historic marks along the way.
First German Roland Garros champion since 1937
With his 6-1, 4-6, 6-4, 6-7(5), 6-1 win over Flavio Cobolli on 7 June 2026, Zverev became the first German men's champion in Paris since Henner Henkel in 1937 – after a wait of 89 years. He was also the first German man to win any major since Boris Becker at the 1996 Australian Open, and only the third German of the Open Era with a Grand Slam title, after Becker and Michael Stich.
Title at the fourth attempt
Before Paris, Zverev had lost three Grand Slam finals: the 2020 US Open, Roland Garros 2024 and the 2025 Australian Open. According to the ATP, he is one of only eight players in the Open Era to lose their first three major finals and win the fourth.
Two majors in one season
With the US Open title against Ben Shelton on 13 September 2026, Zverev became, according to Wikipedia, only the fourth player of the Open Era to win his first two Grand Slam titles in the same calendar year. Together with the Wimbledon final, he reached three of the four major finals in 2026; his Grand Slam record for the season is 25-2. For the win in New York he received $5,500,000 – according to Wikipedia, the largest prize for a single tournament win in men's tennis up to that point.
First major champion with type 1 diabetes
Zverev has lived with type 1 diabetes since childhood and made the condition public in 2022. According to the English-language Wikipedia, he is the first player – men and women combined – to win a Grand Slam tournament with type 1 diabetes. All of his results at the four biggest tournaments are in our Grand Slam record year by year.
Milestones of his early rise
Many of his records date from the years when Zverev was pushing into the world's elite as a teenager. The following marks are cited by the English-language Wikipedia:

- By winning the 2018 ATP Finals, he became the youngest champion of the season finale since Djokovic a decade earlier and the first German since Boris Becker in 1995.
He had already set standards as a junior: in 2013 he was the world No. 1 in the junior rankings and ITF junior world champion, and in 2014 he won the boys' event at the Australian Open.
Olympics, ATP Finals and Masters 1000 titles
