Alexander Zverev is having a rather complicated year. The German ace confirmed that his ex-girlfriend Brenda Patea is pregnant with his baby, and he is dealing with nasty accusations raised by his former girlfriend, Olya Sharypova (domestic violence).

However, despite his off-court struggles, Sascha has been in great form in the last few months. He reached the final at the US Open after losing a heartbreaker against Dominik Thiem when he failed to serve out the match. He lost in the 4th round at the French Open before conquering back to back the 2 tournaments in Cologne. After reaching the quarters in Paris, Sascha is now on a 10 match winning streak.

Sascha’s amazing run allowed him to overtake his rival Stefanos Tsitsipas in the live rankings to be the new world no.6 ahead of the ATP Finals. This is getting interesting.
