On the ATP and WTA tours, punctuality is more than just a courtesy—it’s part of the rhythm of professional tennis. Yet among the elite, one name keeps surfacing when players are asked who’s always running late: Alexander Zverev.

During a roundtable interview, Daniil Medvedev didn’t hesitate when asked about the most chronically late player. With a grin, he pointed to Zverev, joking that the German star has a “built-in delay” when it comes to showing up on time. Medvedev’s comments were echoed by others, suggesting it’s a well-known quirk among the locker room crowd.

Here is the funny video.
