Alexander Zverev confirmed for Stuttgart
German tennis star Alexander Zverev has signed up to return to the Mercedes Cup in Stuttgart next year.
The 22-year-old is set to make his fourth appearance in Stuttgart and the third once since the event switched from clay to grass courts.
Zverev, ranked at No. 7 in the world, made his Stuttgart debut in 2014.
Then the 17-year Zverev didn't impress in his Stuttgart debut, having lost to Czech Lukas Rosol in the first round.
In his last two appearances in Stuttgart, the 22-year-old picked up back-to-back round-of-16 exits as he lost to Viktor Troicki in 2015 before losing to Dustin Brown this year.
Zverev has captured 11 titles so far in his short career but he has yet to win it all at a grass event.
The German former world No. 4 will be aiming to finally make a deep run in Stuttgart and potentially earn his first grass title.
The Mercedes Cup marks the beginning of the grass swing as it takes place in the opening week of the grass season.
