Alexander Zverev: Injury-Free and Hungry for Grand Slam Glory

Zverev overcame Learner Tien in the quarter-finals and is focused on enjoying tennis while improving his aggressive style and managing his tournament schedule.

Alexander Zverev is approaching the Australian Open semi-finals with renewed vigor, free from injuries for the first time in a year. He recently dispatched Learner Tien in the quarter-finals, boosting his quest for that elusive first Grand Slam title.

The German third seed, who succumbed in last year's final to Jannik Sinner, persevered through numerous injuries in 2025, but now, at 28, he claims good health. 'Being pain-free is the biggest change in the last 12 months,' stated Zverev.

His focus has shifted toward enjoyment and strategic scheduling more conducive to his physical state. As Zverev eyes a semi-final clash with either Carlos Alcaraz or Alex de Minaur, he is balancing ambition with the pleasure of the game, a pursuit mirrored in his evolving aggressive play style.
