Australian Open finalist John Lloyd has spoken to Tennis365 about Alexander Zverev\u2019s chances of winning more Grand Slam titles after his breakthrough at Roland Garros.<\/p>\n
Zverev<\/a> defeated Flavio Cobolli in the championship match at the 2026 French Open last month to secure his maiden Grand Slam title.<\/p>\n The German, who lost his first three major finals, was previously considered by many to be the best player not to win a Grand Slam.<\/p>\n The 29-year-old has been a prominent presence at the top of men\u2019s tennis for much of the last decade, having won 25 titles, including seven Masters 1000 events, two ATP Finals titles and an Olympic gold medal.<\/p>\n Zverev, who holds a career-high ranking of world No 2, is currently ranked third behind Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz \u2014 who have been the two dominant forces on the ATP Tour since the start of 2024.<\/p>\n With his triumph at Roland Garros, Zverev ended a streak of nine consecutive Grand Slam titles won by either Alcaraz or Sinner.<\/p>\n Zverev is seeded second at the 2026 Wimbledon Championships<\/a>, where he will face Jiri Lehecka in the fourth round.<\/p>\n Inside story on the innovative new kit being worn by Alexander Zverev at Wimbledon<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Novak Djokovic desperate to avoid hugely damanging rankings collapse at Wimbledon<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Want more from Tennis365?

And he came through. Okay, the match wasn\u2019t good at all. The tennis was not good. But he found a way to win.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd now, he should open his shoulders up more, and we\u2019ll see Zverev at his best. And when he\u2019s at his best, he\u2019s bloody good.<\/p>\n \u201cI mean, he\u2019s always good. But now he\u2019s got that under his belt, he should be free.\u201d<\/p>\n Asked if Zverev can win more majors and be the biggest threat to Sinner and Alcaraz for the foreseeable future, Lloyd\u2019s response was emphatic.<\/p>\n \u201cDefinitely. Definitely. No doubt, no question. As long as he keeps the hunger, which I\u2019m sure he will,\u201d said Lloyd, who was ranked as high as 23rd in the world.<\/p>\n \u201cGetting that monkey off his back is huge. He\u2019ll open his shoulders up now. He\u2019s going to be dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n READ NEXT: Rafael Nadal reveals the \u2018only reason\u2019 Novak Djokovic has not retired from tennis<\/a> The post Alexander Zverev can \u2018definitely\u2019 win more Grand Slams as \u2018dangerous\u2019 Wimbledon warning sent<\/a> appeared first on Tennis365<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Australian Open finalist John Lloyd has spoken to Tennis365 about Alexander Zverev\u2019s chances of winning more Grand Slam titles after his breakthrough at Roland Garros.
