In his pursuit of his first Grand Slam trophy, Zverev has gotten off to a great start.
Alexander Zverev is making quick progress at the Australian Open 2025, quietly but surely, winning his first three rounds with little fanfare.
Although the attention has been on the other elite men’s singles players, Zverev hasn’t lost a set yet and is getting better every time he plays.
After a strong run in the competition up until the third round, Jacob Fearnley lost 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 to the second seed. Now that the Australian Open 2025 is nearing its end, the players who can remain composed under hardship are probably going to win.

Preview
In his first rounds, Zverev easily defeated Pedro MartÃnez, Lucas Pouille, and Fearnley in straight sets. He will now play Ugo Humbert in the round of 16. Zverev will face Humbert for the first time in this competition against a player ranked in the top 15.
Ugo Humbert easily defeated Hady Habib and Matteo Gigante in the first two rounds before facing fellow countryman Arthur Fils in the third.
Humbert lost the first set but came back to win the next two. Regretfully, Fils’ injury caused him to retire, guaranteeing the 26-year-old’s spot in the following round.
Humbert’s most recent participation before the Australian Open 2025 was at the Paris Masters, where Zverev defeated him in the championship match. The Tokyo Olympic Gold medalist has a clear advantage because the 14th seed, who has been one of the ATP circuit’s rising stars, has failed to defeat the German the last two times.
