After his early exit at Wimbledon, Zverev achieves a 52-year-old statistic

By losing in the first round of Wimbledon to France's Rinderknech (7-6, 6-7, 6-3, 6-7, 6-4), Zverev added a 14th defeat to his 2025 season. Known for playing five-set matches, the German even set an unprecedented statistic dating back to 1973.

Indeed, the 28-year-old player is the only one among the 186 players who have been part of the Top 10 since 1973 to have been pushed to a 5th set 21 times during the first week of Grand Slam tournaments. Zverev holds a positive record of 17 wins and 4 losses in these matches.

Another striking figure: the three-time Grand Slam finalist has only won 3 of the 15 matches he has played on grass against players measuring at least 6'5" (1.96m).

These elements add to the player's major disappointment, who, following this, mentioned the possibility of seeking psychological help to address his issues both on and off the court.
