With his outstanding 2020 Australian Open semifinal achievement, Alexander Zverev proved to be too good not to win a Grand Slam. He is most certainly gearing up for contesting the Big Three, but will that happen in 2020? As per Alexander Zverev Grand Slam odds, it is very likely!

The German 22-year-old has come back from a 1-0 deficit against Stan Wawrinka to reach the final four in Melbourne. It was his first grand slam semifinal ever. Zverev vied for the final but he got stopped by another top prospect Dominic Theim. According to online sportsbook news in France, the upcoming Grand Slam challenges will take place in the fall of 2020 in the US and France. Thus, Alexander Zverev Grand Slam odds suggest this year might be his biggest one.

The world No. 7 is the second-youngest player ranked in the top 10 by the ATP. Zverev is sitting there for the last three years. Yet, the Spaniard Rafael Nadal once said that Zverev might possibly become No. 1 sometime in the future. It will be no surprise as Zverev enjoys great talent. He is an aggressive baseliner, using his height and power to push opponents on the backfoot. His serve is the greatest of all, but without a Grand Slam win, he will remain considerably behind the Big Three.

Alexander Zverev’s achievements

Alexander Zverev turned professional in 2013 but made his grand slam debut in 2015 at Wimbledon. His breakthrough year came in 2017 when he won two ATP Masters 1000 titles, defeating Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer in the finals. Many observers at online sportsbooks in France expected Zverev to immediately secure the fourth seat beside the Big Three. But, he only managed to achieve back-to-back quarterfinals in the 2018 and 2019 French Open.

Skeptics emerged suggesting the youngster has hit the ceiling early in his career, until the great performance on 2020 Australian Open. Nobody expected Zverev to make it past the last-eight stage at the Grand Slam. But, Zverev was brave enough to break that barrier and guess against whom! The former champion Stan Wawrinka. He reached the semifinal only to lose against fifth seed Dominic Thiem in four sets.

Zverev’s chances to win a Grand Slam are high

No doubt the dominant forces of the 2010s are still leading every Grand Slam race. The Big Three, Djokovic, Federer, and Nadal have exclusively shredded the Grand Slam titles between them. And, the last time a player won a Grand Slam out of the Big Three was Andy Murray in 2016.

Four annual championships are part of the Grand Slam including Wimbledon canceled this year and Australian Open that took place in January. Besides, the US Open and French Open are scheduled in the fall. The US Open will be contested on a hard court surface from late August to early September. Zverev reached the last 16 in 2019, while for 2020 his odds are 17.00 to win the title at Bet365 Sportsbook.

Alexander Zverev Grand Slam odds for the French Open are 21.00. Last year he reached the quarterfinal but lost badly against the Serbian legend Djokovic.
