Alexander Zverev suffered a shocking elimination in the first round of the 2025 Wimbledon Championships, certifying that he is in serious crisis and having to reflect on his future to prevent this bad moment from continuing into the second half of the season.
The world number 3 was literally a shadow of his former self after losing the final of the Australian Open 2025 to Jannik Sinner, a hard blow that annihilated his certainties and canceled the progress made by the German ace in the second half of 2024.
The champion from Hamburg will have a lot of time to reflect after his untimely defeat at the Championships, but his statements in the press conference have caused a lot of concern among fans. The former world No. 2 admitted that he doesn’t feel good mentally and that he will probably need to turn to someone for help, no longer finding the joy of competing and feeling very lonely on the court.
### **Sascha’s Tremendous Crisis**
Speaking on *Amazon Prime Video*, former world number 25 Mischa Zverev – Sascha’s brother – expressed his honest opinion on the matter:
*"Life is really hard in different areas of the world. I dare say that life is much more difficult for an African child than for a tennis player who participates in Wimbledon. Having children myself, I have become very pragmatic and have a very rational view of this situation. There are complicated moments in the life of each of us, but we have to react with determination, even if we professional players are always the center of attention."*
Sascha has won just one title so far in the season – the Munich ATP 250 – too little for a player of his calibre, who was hoping to finally fulfil his dream of lifting a Major title this year.
If he wants to achieve this goal, the German star will have to recover the right serenity and prepare in the best possible way for the US Open, a tournament that suits his game very well (having reached the final in 2020).
