Boris Becker thinks Alexander Zverev can reach No.1 in the world rankings.
He made this prediction after Zverev's Roland Garros win.
What happened?
Boris Becker spoke to Eurosport Germany about Alexander Zverev's chances.
He said Zverev has the potential to win more Grand Slams at 29.
Why it matters for Boris Becker
Becker's comments carry weight given his six major championships.
He advised Zverev to set new goals and win everything he can.
What comes next?
Zverev has been closing the gap on Carlos Alcaraz in the ATP rankings.
As of the latest update, Zverev sits at 7,190 points, with Alcaraz at risk of losing points due to injury.
Becker believes Zverev can climb higher with consistent play.
He has been playing well for many months, which is a key factor.
Zverev's progress will be interesting to watch, especially with Wimbledon upcoming.
And his form could lead to a significant shift in the rankings.
But Jannik Sinner's lead is still significant, with 13,500 points.
So Zverev would need an extended dip in form from Sinner to get near him.
Becker's prediction is based on Zverev's current form and age.
He thinks Zverev can achieve more in the next two or three years.
The German player has the talent and time on his side.
And with the right mindset, he can reach new heights.
Becker's comments will be closely watched by tennis fans.
And his prediction could add pressure on Zverev to perform.
But for now, Zverev is focused on his next tournament.
And he will be looking to build on his Roland Garros win.
The ATP rankings will be updated regularly.
And Zverev's progress will be closely monitored by fans and pundits alike.
