Alexander "Sascha" Zverev (; Russian: Александр "Саша" Зверев, IPA: ; born 20 April 1997) is a German professional tennis player of Russian descent. He is the youngest player ranked in the top 10 by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP), and was a permanent fixture in the top 5 throughout 2018. He has won ten ATP titles in singles and one in doubles.

Zverev is the reigning champion at the ATP Finals, making him the youngest winner at the year-end championship in a decade. Zverev is the only active player outside of the Big Four with three Masters titles. He has been praised by members of the Big Four as one of their potential successors. Rafael Nadal has called him a "clear possible future No. 1." Novak Djokovic has said, "Hopefully, he can surpass me."

Zverev was born into a tennis family. His parents Irina and Alexander Sr. both played professionally for the Soviet Union and his older brother Mischa is also a professional who has been ranked as high as No. 25 in the world. Zverev is a former world No. 1 junior, and won one Junior Grand Slam singles title at the 2017 Australian Open. He had an early breakthrough on the professional tour as well, becoming one of the youngest Challenger title winners in history at the age of 17. As a teenager, Zverev won two ATP titles and also upset then world No. 3 Roger Federer on grass. At 20 years old, he was the youngest player to debut in the top 20 since Djokovic.
