Zverev match time today: how the start time is set
The exact time of a tennis match is only fixed the day before, when the tournament publishes its order of play – usually in the early afternoon local time. Only the first match on each court has a fixed start. All other matches are listed as “not before” a certain time or “followed by”: they begin only when the previous match on that court has finished. A long three-set match beforehand can push Zverev's start back by one to two hours, and rain at outdoor events by even more.
In practice this means: the time in the box above is the scheduled time. If you want to be sure, check again shortly before the start – we update this page with every new order of play.
Time differences at the next tournaments
- Shanghai (China, UTC+8): six hours ahead of Berlin (CEST), seven hours ahead of London (BST) and twelve hours ahead of New York (ET) – day matches fall in the European morning, evening matches in the European afternoon, which is the middle of the night or early morning on the US East Coast.
- Vienna, Paris, Turin, Bologna: same time zone as Berlin, one hour ahead of London and normally six hours ahead of New York – evening matches usually start at 7 or 8 p.m. local time, i.e. 6 or 7 p.m. in London and 1 or 2 p.m. ET.
- Clock change: summer time in Europe ends on 25 October 2026 (Berlin moves from CEST to CET, London from BST to GMT); in the US it ends on 1 November 2026. Between those two dates New York is only five hours behind Berlin.
The tournament plan through the end of the season is on Alexander Zverev's schedule.
