Follow us on Google Discover After what has been an underwhelming year, Alexander Zverev will look for a strong finish to 2025 during the indoor hard-court season.
Zverev has claimed just one ATP title this year, his lowest season tally since 2019, having recorded his sole victory at the Munich Open.
Outside of his triumph in his home country, however, the German has endured a difficult time on tour since January.
The world number three did reach the final of the Australian Open earlier in the year, but failed to build on his impressive run in Melbourne.

Recently, Zverev has suffered a number of early exits at big tournaments, including a third-round defeat at the US Open and a round of 32 loss at the Shanghai Masters.
There is still time for Zverev to salvage his 2025 campaign, though, and he will have a great chance of doing so at the upcoming Vienna Open, where he has been given a favourable draw.
Alexander Zverev’s draw at the Vienna Open
The Vienna Open is one of the final ATP 500 tournaments of the season, and it will feature some big names.
Seeded first at the event, world number two Jannik Sinner is seeking his fourth title of the season, as he takes to the court after winning the Six Kings Slam in Saudi Arabia.
Daniil Medvedev will also make an appearance in Austria, with the Russian in fine form since the beginning of the Asian swing.
For Zverev, the Vienna Open draw has provided him with a golden opportunity, as the 28-year-old has been handed a promising potential path to the final.

Should he advance to the championship match, Zverev will likely face Sinner in a rematch of the Australian Open final.
Alexander Zverev’s record at the Vienna Open over the years
Zverev is making his fifth appearance at the Vienna Open, where he is a former champion.
He narrowly missed out in the qualifiers in 2014 and reached the quarterfinals in 2017, before going on to win the tournament four years later.
In 2021, Zverev put together an impressive run, beating the likes of Carlos Alcaraz and Frances Tiafoe to clinch the title.
