Did you know Alexander Zverev’s parents Alexander Zverev Sr. and Irina Zvereva are both former professional tennis players?

Alexander Zverev, fondly known as Sacha, has been tipped for big things in tennis since his teens and he is finally looking to take the next major step in his career by winning his maiden Grand Slams.

The German came close to breaking his major duck in 2020 when he finished runner-up to Dominic Thiem at the US Open, but he is now just one win away from getting his hands on the French Open trophy as he will face Carlos Alcaraz in the final.

But Zverev’s rise as one of the best tennis players is no surprise given his deep roots in tennis as his parents coached him from a young age.

Who are Alexander Zverev’s parents?
Alexander Zverev was born on April 20, 1997 to Alexander Zverev Sr. and Irina Zvereva in Hamburg, Germany. He has a brother Mischa, who is 10 years older than him and was born in Moscow, Russian SFSR, Soviet Union.

Unsurprisingly both Sacha and Mischa took up tennis with the former reaching a career-high No 2 in the ATP Rankings winning 22 titles while Mischa peaked at No 25 and won one title.

Who are Carlos Alcaraz’s parents Carlos Alcaraz Gonzalez and Virginia Garfia Escandon?
The pair took after their parents as both Alexander Sr. and Irina represented the Soviet Union during their playing days, albeit they didn’t quite hit the heights of their children as their movements were quite restricted due to international bans.

Alexander Sr., born in Sochi, reached a career-high of No 175 in the rankings in the 80s and had a career record of 3–16 at the top level. He also made appearances at the Australian Open and French Open, but failed to win any matches.

He did have success with his country as he played 36 Davis Cup matches for the Soviet Union, winning 18 rubbers.

Irina had a lot more success despite only reaching a career-high of No 380 in 1993. Her success, though, came at ITF level as she won the ITF Bergisch Gladbach singles title in 1993.

She also has three runners-up trophies to her name, including her final one against Greece’s Julia Apostoli, the mother of one Stefanos Tsitispas.

Alexander Sr. and Irina immigrated to Germany in 1990 and they coached both their sons from a young age with Irina initially taking the lead before her husband took charge.
