The German, who has recently been working with Toni Nadal, will face Francisco Cerundolo in the next round, a man he has never beaten on the ATP<\/a> Tour.<\/p>\n Zverev<\/a> is back to winning ways in Canada, and with his triumph against the Italian, he has now made tennis history.<\/p>\n In the era that followed the \u2018big three\u2019 of Roger Federer<\/a>, Rafael Nadal<\/a> and Novak Djokovic<\/a>, Zverev has been at the forefront. <\/p>\n He has now further cemented that status after reaching 500 match wins at ATP level, becoming the first player born since 1990 to do so. <\/p>\n Other players in his age bracket who are yet to reach the milestone include Daniil Medvedev<\/a>, Andrey Rublev, and Tommy Paul.<\/p>\n Zverev has also now made a 50th appearance in the fourth round of a Masters 1000 event, joining Djokovic, Stan Wawrinka, and Grigor Dimitrov in active players to achieve the feat.<\/p>\n Alexander Zverev\u2019s title tally on the ATP Tour<\/p>\n Since turning professional in 2013, Zverev has collected a total of 24 ATP titles, earning crowns on all three surfaces.<\/p>\n He clinched his first in 2016 at an event in St Petersburg, and in 2017 he won a maiden Masters 1000 trophy at the Italian Open.<\/p>\n Zverev\u2019s most recent title came at the Munich Open earlier this season, which is still the only tournament he has triumphed at in 2025.<\/p>\n A Grand Slam still eludes him, and with Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> and Jannik Sinner<\/a> continuing to get better, it will only get harder for the 28-year-old. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alexander Zverev has booked his place in the fourth round of the Canadian Open following his win over…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":38828,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[565],"tags":[5244,753,64,63,11230,85,747],"class_list":["post-38827","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-alexander-zverev","tag-atp","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-canadian-open","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38827","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38827"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38827\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/38828"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38827"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=38827"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38827"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"TENNIS:](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GettyImages-2227225611-1024x683.jpg\")
