Former ATP Ace is Very Disappointed With Alexander Zverev, Carlos Alcaraz And Jessica Pegula Because Of…

Jannik Sinner’s suspension from the professional tour began on February 9 and will end on May 4, a three-month period in which Alexander Zverev and Carlos Alcaraz have a real chance to get closer to the first position in the ATP ranking (and even dethrone the Italian ace).

However, their results in February did not live up to expectations. The German champion was literally disastrous last month, perhaps still conditioned by the severe lesson suffered by Sinner in the final of the 2025 Australian Open.

Sascha had chosen to play tournaments on red clay in South America precisely with the aim of earning as many points as possible, but his run was prematurely interrupted in both Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro. The player from Hamburg hoped to achieve a prestigious result at least at the Acapulco ATP 500, but was demolished by the young American talent Learner Tien (who had already defeated Daniil Medvedev in the first Major of the season).

Carlitos – on the other hand – won his first title of 2025 in Rotterdam although he did not play his best tennis, but he did not repeat it in Doha despite Sinner’s absence and the premature elimination of Nole Djokovic.

Lorenzi on Zverev and Alcaraz 

The German and Spaniard will have to shine in both Indian Wells and Miami if they want to get closer to Jannik before his suspension ends.

In an interview with ‘SuperTennis’, former Italian ace Paolo Lorenzi confessed that he expected more from Sascha and Carlos in this period: “They can’t have the necessary consistency during the season, there are periods when they struggle a lot. If you exclude Sinner, all the other players have a very similar level.

When they don’t play their best tennis, they struggle a lot to win matches. 

Alcaraz has some really amazing peaks, but he has very little regularity and struggles to take advantage of Jannik’s absence.

Zverev had gone to South America to score points, but his results were very disappointing.
