The German beat the local Ugo Humbert, by a resounding double 6-2. This Monday he will appear as the second best tennis player in the ATP rankings, surpassing Carlos Alcaraz.
Alexander Zverev (3rd in the ATP ranking) silences France and wins the Masters 1000 in Paris. The German tennis player beat the local Ugo Humbert (18th) in two sets, by a solid double 6-2, in just one hour and 15 minutes of play.
The German did not find much response from the public favorite, who transformed the Accor Arena into a Davis Cup match. Sascha did not manage to give in to the hostility of the Parisian bias and demonstrated the great moment he is going through.
This Monday, Zverev will emerge as the second best tennis player on the planet, displacing Carlos Alcaraz who was beaten by Humbert in the round of 16 at Paris-Bercy.
After his passage to the Masters final, Sascha commented on his new habit of reaching the level of the Hispanic and Jannik Sinner (1st), who led the new generation of tennis players. “After each match, I go straight to training. I want to improve some aspects because Jannik (Sinner) and Carlos (Alcaraz) are doing some things better than me at the moment,” revealed the German.
Crushing triumph
Humbert’s 13 consecutive victories on fast indoor surfaces were not enough. Neither is being local. He couldn’t be the hero we’ve been waiting for for so long in France. Zverev got up and prevented the Frenchman from winning the Paris Masters, which has not celebrated the French title since 2008, when Wilfried Tsonga won the crown.
Sascha was the dominator, managing to crush his rival from the start. In fact, the difference increased as the minutes passed. He won five of the first six games, while Humbert managed to make up for the first set by adding a second closing game.
However, he lost the serve again at the start of the next round, even after spending around ten minutes in the locker room. Zverev was already heading towards victory.
SO, The German won his first title in Paris. He had already been a finalist in 2022. In addition, He added his twenty-third trophy as a professional and his seventh at the Masters 1000 level. He already has the crowns of Madrid and Rome, twice, while Canada and Cincinnati have been awarded to him once.
His great gift will allow him to reach the ATP Finals in Turin as the second best tennis player in the world and as the one with the most matches won in the current season, with 66, one more than Sinner.
