Alexander Zverev celebrates his Top 20 arrival preparing for his 2016 departure.

The 19-year-old Zverev made his Top 20 debut today in a celebration day for his entire family. Older brother, Mischa Zverev, returned to the Top 100 following his run through qualifying to the Shanghai Rolex Masters quarterfinals last week.

The youngest man in the Top 100, Zverev joins No. 46 Borna Coric and No. 70 Taylor Fritz as one of only three teenagers to crack the Top 100.

The 6'6" Zverev will pull the plug on his season after this week's Stockholm Open in order to devote time to off-court training.

"(Trainer) Jez Green wants to do two months offseason (training) with me again. So for next year I'm perfectly prepared," said Zverev, who will face Frenchman Adrian Mannarino in his Stockholm opener. "Because now comes the time where I really can do good in big tournaments. But for that I have to put on a lot of weight still and muscle and a lot of strength. So he wants to do a whole two months offseason with me so I can be perfectly prepared for next year."
