Zverev is defined by one of the best serves on tour. At 1.98m he generates exceptional leverage, and his flat forehand is a consistent winner-producer from any position on the court.

His forehand is the primary weapon, struck flat with significant pace and decent depth. His court coverage has improved significantly since his mid-career injury recovery.

How his equipment supports his style: The Gravity Tour 100 gives him a 100 sq. in. sweet spot that suits his flatter, more direct hitting style. HEAD Hawk Touch at 24–25 kg matches a mid-tension preference that balances power and control.
