Alexander Zverev has been taking part in the Mexican Swing over the last two weeks. First, reaching the semi finals of Los Cabos Open, before suffering a shock loss in the first round at the Mexican Open to compatriot Daniel Altmaier.
Despite this, Zverev accomplished a rare feat. He is just the ninth player to amass $40 million in career earnings, joining an exclusive club, with only Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Pete Sampras and Andy Murray winning more in prize money on the ATP Tour. Venus Williams and Simona Halep are the two WTA representatives.
