Alexander Zverev may have mixed feelings about his 2024 season, with the German now already looking ahead to 2025.

Zverev finished as year-end number two, having won two ATP Tour-level titles to take his career total to 23.

Both impressively came in ATP Masters 1,000 events in Paris and Rome, with Zverev emerging victorious on hard and clay courts respectively.

At the same time, however, he once again failed in his ongoing quest for an elusive Grand Slam title, along with the world number one spot.

Roger Federer once tipped Zverev for number one, but the latter is once again in a career-high second place.

But Zverev is now focusing on the new season, with the 27-year-old confirmed to play the EFG Swiss Open Gstaad 2025 for the very first time in his career.

Is Alexander Zverev the best player ever not to win a Grand Slam?

It is a truly remarkable situation that Zverev finds himself in, with the German arguably the best player ever not to win a Grand Slam.

He does, of course, still have plenty of time to change that unwanted feat given that he will turn just 28 in April.

At the same time, however, having been forced to compete with the likes of Novak Djokovic, Federer and Rafael Nadal in their prime, he now has to take on Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.

It was the Spaniard who served him French Open final heartache this year, with Dominic Thiem playing that role in the 2020 US Open final.

Zverev will be out to right those wrongs in 2025, with finals at the Australian Open and Wimbledon perhaps high on his agenda.

He has reached the semi-final of the former on two occasions, but has never made it beyond the fourth round of the latter.
