The Year of Zverev: A Breakthrough or a False Dawn? Alexander Zverev has dominated his opponents at the US Open, with a 9 1 career record against Frances Tiafoe and a 5 0 record against Ben Shelton.
His success is nothing short of impressive, but as he prepares to face off against one of these opponents in the final, it's natural to wonder: is this a breakthrough year for Zverev, or just another false dawn?
Zverev has struggled at the major level before, coming close to greatness in 2020 only to let the US Open title slip through his fingers.
