Tennis professional Alexander Zverev has won his seventh Masters 1000 tournament. In the final of the indoor tournament in Paris, after an almost flawless performance, he prevailed 6:2, 6:2 against the overwhelmed Frenchman Ugo Humbert. Zverev, 27, is only the second German tennis player to win the tournament in Paris-Bercy after Boris Becker (1986, 1989, 1992). “Winning this title here in Paris means the world to me,” he said at the award ceremony.
For Zverev, it was his second tournament victory this year after his triumph at the Masters in Rome. After his semi-final success against the Dane Holger Rune, it was already clear that Zverev would overtake the panier Carlos Alcaraz in the world rankings shortly before the season finale at the ATP Finals in Turin in mid-November and take second place. He is now traveling confidently to the test of strength between the eight best tennis players, which Zverev has already won twice (2018 and 2021).
Zverev got off to a dream start in his twelfth Masters final. He was able to use his first break chance to make it 2-1 and also take the following service game from his opponent. After just 36 minutes, the first set went to the dominant German. In the second set he took the lead again and won after just 75 minutes.
