5 Players to watch out for in the London Masters

#2 Alexander Zverev

Rolex Paris Masters - Day Three

Alexander Zverev has been touted as the next big thing in the Tennis Circuit like Dominic Thiem, but the German hasn’t lived up to his reputation. Many think that may be the German may need some more time to develop the temperament one needs to excel in high-pressure games, especially in knockout rounds when the German tends to get a bit nervous.

Zverev also tends to get a bit erratic and this is one area where the German needs to show improvement. The number 5 seed had stated that playing more such events will help him to prepare for Grand Slam events. The 22-year-old won the Madrid Masters in May by beating Dominic Thiem in the finals and was runner-up in Miami Masters and Rome masters in March and May.

He also won the Bavarian International Tennis Championship in April. His precise baselines have at times outfoxed his opponents. He also won the Washington Open in July by beating Australia’s Alex De Minaur in the finals. He also made it to the finals of the Vienna Open in the doubles category along with his brother Mischa Zverev last month.

Zverev's blasting serves can outclass his rivals, while he has this ability to surprise his opponents with his quick serves. Zverev’s backhand strokes are considered to be his main strengths and it is an area where the German can be a big threat to his rivals.
