Alexander Zverev has been under intense scrutiny since securing the World No. 1 ranking, with questions being raised over its legitimacy. Ahead of his Paris Masters campaign, a French journalist has taken the achievement apart in a blunt assessment.
The 29-year-old secured the top spot when the rankings updated on Monday, becoming the 30th man to hold it and the oldest first-time No. 1 in over 50 years. He won his first Grand Slam title at Roland Garros in June, then his second at the US Open in September.
