Due to the fact the Russians are banned from Wimbledon because of the controversial Russian invasion of Ukraine, Zverev would have been ranked number one at the only major of the year that is held on grass. But with Zverev injured and Daniil Medvedev of Russia not invited, Novak Djokovic of Serbia will be seeded first at Wimbledon, just like he was at the French Open.
How Djokovic is ranked higher at this time than Rafael Nadal is mind boggling. Nadal has had a sensational 2022 season, with wins at the Australian Open and French Open.
Zverev also received well wishes from a notable German tennis player from the past. According to tennisuptodate.com, Zverev obtained a message from six-time grand slam champion Boris Becker, who wished him the best in his recovery. Becker is currently in prison in England for bankruptcy charges.
