The German ace had started 2025 well by reaching the final at the Australian Open, but that emphatic loss to former world No. 1 Jannik Sinner had a devastating impact on his mind. The world number 3 lost all the certainties he had acquired up to that point and the rest of his year fell far short of expectations.
The champion from Hamburg has only collected disappointments and has distanced himself from Carlitos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. He also missed the chance to climb to the top of the ATP rankings when the Italian star was handed a three-month ban by WADA.
The former world number 2 has lifted just one trophy, in Munich in front of his home fans, and appears to have struggled for most of the season, failing to keep his frustration in check at times.
After being eliminated from the Wimbledon Championships earlier than expected, Sascha tried to ask Toni Nadal for help and went to his academy in Manacor. He trained there for about a week and asked Toni to become his new coach, but the latter made him understand that at this stage of his life he does not plan to return to travel the world.
A disappointing season
Through his official
There is no doubt that 2026 could be crucial for Alexander’s entire career, as he must respond like a true champion and finally break this curse that torments him.
The 2026 Australian Open will already be a key test for him as he will be called upon to defend the 2025 final.
