Alexander Zverev captured his first Grand Slam ***** le at the French Open this year, and now the US Open top seed is eager for another crack at the Slam that got away.
Germany's Zverev led Dominic Thiem by two sets to love in the 2020 US Open final and came away empty-handed. It would be six years before he finally hoisted a major trophy at Roland Garros.
"I still feel like I should have won in 2020, that doesn't change," Zverev said as he looked forward to his first-round clash with Italy's Lorenzo Sonego.
Women's Australian Open champion Elena Rybakina, closing in on Aryna Sabalenka's number one world ranking, fourth-seeded American Coco Gauff and rising Philippines star Alexandra Eala are also in action as the first round concludes on Tuesday.
