class=\"ciam-article-t365\"><!-- Article Start --><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/alexander-zverev\">Alexander Zverev<\/a> has played more matches than anyone else on the ATP Tour this season, in what has been his greatest season of his career so far.<\/p>\n<p>Zverev has played 73 matches on the ATP Tour this season, which is testament to the amount of deep runs he\u2019s made at the big tournaments this year.<\/p>\n<p>The German has won Roland Garros and the US Open and he\u2019s reached the Wimbledon final, the Madrid Open final, and the semifinals of the Australian Open and four other Masters events.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, Zverev has admitted to feeling fatigued towards the end of the season, particularly at the Shanghai Masters after a semifinal defeat to Alejandro Davidovich Fokina.<\/p>\n<p>Zverev still has four events left of his season, at the Vienna Open, Paris Masters, ATP Finals, and the Davis Cup, but he is already looking ahead to his post-season break.<\/p>\n<h2>More Alexander Zverev news<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/alexander-zverev-slams-boris-becker-not-interested-opinion\">Alexander Zverev slams Boris Becker despite recent praise: \u2018I\u2019m not interested in his opinion\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/alexander-zverev-goalsachieve-retires\">Alexander Zverev outlines the goals he still wants to achieve before he retires<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Speaking at the Vienna Open, he revealed: \u201cMy plan will be exactly the same as always. I\u2019ll take ten days off and then I\u2019ll start preparing. I\u2019m going on vacation to the Maldives, something that probably won\u2019t surprise anyone anymore because I go every year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter that, I\u2019ll begin preparing for the new season. I won\u2019t have a particularly long preparation period, that\u2019s clear, but it will be the same length as last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn that sense, not much will change. I hope that this year our participation in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/Davis-Cup\">Davis Cup<\/a> will last a couple of days longer than last season.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a terrifyingly short off-season for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/alexander-zverev\">Zverev<\/a>, but it\u2019s no surprise that he already has one eye on the 2027 season.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s already confirmed to play the Brisbane International at the beginning of the year, which is a change-up to his usual preparations for the Grand Slam.<\/p>\n<p>Zverev has tended to play the United Cup to start his season, but he will instead head to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/ATP-Tour\">ATP<\/a> 250 tournament. It will follow his appearance at the Six Kings Slam, which takes place between the 27th and 30th December.<\/p>\n<p>It looks to be another crucial period for Zverev, as he continue his quest to earn the Career Grand Slam at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/australian-open\">Australian Open<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>He is halfway there after his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/roland-garros\">Roland Garros<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/us-open\">US Open<\/a> triumphs in 2026, but at 30 years old, he will be hoping to wrap up another as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/carlos-alcaraz\">Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> still not at the heights he was pre-injury, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/jannik-sinner\">Jannik Sinner<\/a> returning from a knee injury, he might not get a better time.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alexander Zverev confirms how many days he will take off from tennis when the season finishes Liam McMillen 28 Oct 2026 5:00 PM Alexander Zverev reacts during his match Alexander Zverev has played more matches than anyone else on the ATP Tour this season, in what has been his greatest season of his career so [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[226,249],"class_list":["post-2224701","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-crawlmanager","tag-tennis365-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2224701","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2224701"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2224701\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2224701"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2224701"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2224701"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
