Alexander "Sascha" Zverev Jr. (born 20 April 1997) is a German professional tennis player and currently the youngest player in the ATP top 50. The right-hander started playing at the age of five. He is the son of former Russian tennis player Alexander Zverev Sr. and the younger brother of tennis player Mischa Zverev.
In October 2016 he became the youngest player to enter the ATP top 20 since Novak Djokovic in 2006.
Zverev was born in Hamburg, Germany, in 1997. He comes from a Russian tennis family. His father, Alexander Sr., is a former professional tennis player who competed for the Soviet Union. In 1991, he and his wife Irina, a former tennis player as well, moved to Hamburg, Germany, where Alexander Jr. was born and raised, as well as Alexander's older brother, Mischa, who is also a professional tennis player.
Between October 2013 and June 2014, Zverev was the No. 1 ranked boys junior player. As a junior, he compiled a singles win/loss record of 96–35.
Zverev reached the final of the 2013 French Open juniors, losing to Christian Garín. After losing in the third round of the 2013 Jr. Wimbledon Championships, he reached the semifinals of the 2013 Jr. US Open, losing to the eventual champion, Borna Ćorić.
Zverev won the 2014 Jr. Australian Open as the top seed, defeating second seed, Stefan Kozlov in the final.
In the first six months, Zverev competed in 10 Challenger tournaments, only qualifying for five. He also entered five ATP 250 events, but was unable to qualify for any of the main draws (although he did receive a wildcard for the Bavarian International Tennis Championships).
