Alexander Zverev says he still has more "goals and dreams" to achieve, but insists remaining healthy will be his main focus heading into the 2025 season.
Zverev ended the year as world number two, ahead of Carlos Alcaraz, with two impressive Masters 1000 wins in Rome and Paris.
However, he has his sights set on hunting down Jannik Sinner's world number-one ranking, though the Italian leads by over 3,000 ranking points.
He is widely regarded as one of the best players to have never won a Grand Slam title, having made two finals, including the French Open in 2024.
Despite an impressive 2024 season, Zverev believes there is still more to come.
He said: "I'm not satisfied yet. I want to achieve more goals and dreams.
"I've been close on multiple occasions for a first grand slam title. But I want to stay healthy and fit. That is the main goal."

Zverev suffered a serious ankle injury in the 2022 French Open semi-final against Rafael Nadal and is grateful just to be back competing at the highest level again.
"I was one match away from world number one before the injury," Zverev added.
"But I'm again competing for big events, the best spots in our sport. I feared that I might not be able to do that again. I was never sure to be back at this level."
Zverev starts his campaign on Sunday when United Cup holders Germany face Brazil in a group match at the mixed-teams tournament in the lead-up to next month's Australian Open.
