PARIS (Reuters) – Third seed Alexander Zverev (Germany) won the singles final of the men’s tennis Masters in Paris on the 3rd, marking a career-high return to No. 2 in the world rankings. .
Zverev faced 15th seed Hugo Humbert, a native of his hometown who was expected to win the tournament, and won in straight sets, 6-2, 6-2. He won his first Masters in Paris, becoming the second German player to do so after Boris Becker.
It was also his seventh victory in the Masters 1000 category, making him the most wins (66) on this season’s tour, one behind world No. 1 Jannik Sinner (Italy).
Zverev said: “I think it was pretty good. We knew we had to play like this to win. Hugo is a great player. Plus, it was in Paris, so he played even better than usual.” I knew it would be a very difficult match with the audience on my side, so I needed to prevent that from happening early on. I’m happy that I was able to do that.”
