Alexander Zverev’s 2025 tennis schedule: Where will Australian Open runner-up play next?
Alexander Zverev started the 2025 season with a runners-up trophy at the Australian Open, but he will be hoping to add a few more titles to his name as the season progresses.
The German lost the season-opening Grand Slam against Jannik Sinner, but he is on course to replicate his 2024 achievements as last year he won two titles – the Italian Open and Paris Masters – and finished runner-up at the French Open.
He kicked off this season at the United Cup – winning two matches – before reaching the final of the Australian Open only to be denied in straight sets by Sinner.
A look at the events that are likely to be on Zverev’s 2025 tennis calendar.
Argentina Open – 10-16 February
Unlike most of the other players in the top 10 who are competing in Europe, Alexander Zverev has opted to once again play in South America.
He will kick off his sojourn in Buenos Aires and will make his debut in the ATP 250 tournament.
Rio Open – 17-23 February
World No 2 Zverev will also be the top seed at the ATP 500 tournament in Brazil and he will also play at the event for the first time as last year he competed at the Los Cabos Open that was held at the same time.
Mexican Open – 24 February-1 March
The German will bring his trip to South America to a conclusion in Mexico at the Abierto Mexicano Telcel.
Last year was stunned in the first round by Daniel Altmaier while he won the title in 2021.
But he is perhaps best remembered for his 2022 default as he was thrown out of the event for unsportsmanlike conduct during his doubles match after he repeatedly hit the umpire’s chair with his racket and also swore at the official.
Indian Wells Open – 5-16 March
The Sunshine Double in the United States is next on the calendar with the Indian Wells Open kicking things off, but Zverev is yet to crack the code at the ATP Masters 1000 event.
His best performances are a couple of quarter-final appearances, including in 2024 when he lost against eventual winner Carlos Alcaraz.
Miami Open – 20-30 March
Zverev has a better record in the second leg of the Sunshine Double as he reached the final in 2018 before losing against John Isner. Last year he was a semi-finalist, but lost against Grigor Dimitrov.
Monte Carlo Masters – 7-13 April
The Monte Carlo Masters marks the start of the clay-court season for the big guns and Zverev has been an ever-present entrant since making his debut in 2016.
He twice reached the semi-final, but made a third-round exit in 2024 as he was beaten by Stefanos Tsitsipas.
Bavarian International Tennis Championships – 14-23 April
The tournament on home soil in Munich is squeezed in between two Masters events.
Zverev is a two-time titlist (2017 and 2018) while he reached the quarter-final in 2024.
Madrid Open – 24 April-4 May
Zverev is a two-time winner in the Spanish capital with his first title coming in 2018 and his second coming three years later. He also finished runner-up in 2022 while he lost in the fourth round last year.
