Playing Style
Zverev plays aggressively at the baseline. Many times, he stands a long way behind the sideline and tries to hit hard groundstrokes that either win points or wear down the other player. His height slows him down on the court, but it also benefits him otherwise, helping him extend his reach and knock the other player down. Novak Djokovic said that, “He moves well for his height.”
With both his backhand and forehand, Zverev has a lot of strength. Fans say that his backhand is his best move and one of the best in the game. He stands away, his feet about shoulder-width apart, and holds his forehand in a western grip. When he holds his backhand, it’s in a European style. Even though he is tall, Zverev can slice with his backhands, which need a low center of gravity.
With a height of 1.98 meters (6 ft 6 in), Zverev can hit big serves at speeds of 220 km/h (140 mph) or faster and at greater angles than the shorter players. When Zverev first got into the top 20, he wasn’t even one of the best serves on tour; his serve rating was 38th at that time.
Zverev won six of his first ten titles on hard courts and four on clay courts.
