Mikhail "Mischa" Zverev (born 22 August 1987) is a German professional tennis player of Russian heritage. He achieved a career-high singles ranking of world No. 30 on February 27, 2017.
At the 2017 Australian Open he beat world No. 1 Andy Murray in four sets, before losing in the quarter-finals to eventual champion Roger Federer. As a qualifier, he has also reached the quarter-finals of both the 2009 Italian Open and the 2016 Shanghai Masters.
He is the son of former Russian tennis player Alexander Zverev Sr., who is also his coach. Internationally, he represents Germany and resides in Monte Carlo, Monaco. His younger brother, Alexander Zverev Jr., also plays on the tour.
Zverev had a very successful junior career, attaining a No. 3 combined world ranking and making the semi-finals of the US Open (losing to Andy Murray), as well as the quarter-finals of Roland Garros (losing to Alex Kuznetsov) and the Australian Open (losing to Novak Djokovic) in 2004. In doubles he reached the final of the French Open in the same year.
As a junior, he compiled a 123–50 win/loss record in singles (and 79–33 in doubles).
In October 2006, he made his first ATP-level quarter-final in Bangkok, Thailand, beating former No. 1 Juan Carlos Ferrero and former No. 5 Rainer Schüttler before losing to former No. 1 Marat Safin.
He spent all of 2007 inside the top 200 and, in July, made a second quarter-final in Rhode Island. He then won a Challenger title in August at a tournament held in Istanbul and followed that up with another quarter-final run at the Bronx Challenger, which saw him crack the top 100 for the first time in his career.
