Alexander Zverev makes tennis history after his latest win at the Canadian Open

Alexander Zverev has booked his place in the fourth round of the Canadian Open following his win over Matteo Arnaldi.

In his first tournament since Wimbledon, Zverev won his opening match in Toronto against Adam Walton, and emerged victorious against Arnaldi after going a set down.

The German, who has recently been working with Toni Nadal, will face Francisco Cerundolo in the next round, a man he has never beaten on the ATP Tour.

Zverev is back to winning ways in Canada, and with his triumph against the Italian, he has now made tennis history.

Alexander Zverev makes tennis history at the Canadian Open

In the era that followed the ‘big three’ of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, Zverev has been at the forefront.

He has now further cemented that status after reaching 500 match wins at ATP level, becoming the first player born since 1990 to do so.

Other players in his age bracket who are yet to reach the milestone include Daniil Medvedev, Andrey Rublev, and Tommy Paul.

Zverev has also now made a 50th appearance in the fourth round of a Masters 1000 event, joining Djokovic, Stan Wawrinka, and Grigor Dimitrov in active players to achieve the feat.

Alexander Zverev’s title tally on the ATP Tour

Since turning professional in 2013, Zverev has collected a total of 24 ATP titles, earning crowns on all three surfaces.

He clinched his first in 2016 at an event in St Petersburg, and in 2017 he won a maiden Masters 1000 trophy at the Italian Open.

Zverev’s most recent title came at the Munich Open earlier this season, which is still the only tournament he has triumphed at in 2025.

A Grand Slam still eludes him, and with Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner continuing to get better, it will only get harder for the 28-year-old.
