Zverev destroys Royer and dominates at Wimbledon
The German imposes his serve and forehand to advance to the third round and seek the quarterfinals.
Alexander Zverev is not just winning on grass, he is dominating with an aggressiveness that redefines his game at Wimbledon 2026. The German third seed crushed Valentin Royer in straight sets to secure his place in the third round, proving that his recent title at Roland Garros was no accident. Zverev came to the All England Club on a streak of nine consecutive Grand Slam victories and showed no mercy against the Frenchman.
The German transformed his style, leaving passive defense behind to become a dictator from the right. His drive was lethal, hitting impossible angles that Royer couldn't cover. Furthermore, the serve, historically his Achilles heel on this surface, worked like a Swiss watch, cleaning up unforced errors and maintaining constant pressure from the baseline.
