Alexander Zverev produces a clinical performance to win the Rolex Paris Masters.
Written by Jerome Coombe
Alexander Zverev is one step away from lifting his seventh ATP Masters 1000 title. The German leads Ugo Humbert 6-2 in the championship match at the Rolex Paris Masters.
The No. 2 player in the PIF ATP Live Rankings was on call from the start, Humbert’s serve in the third game was dropped to silence the French crowd. From there, Zverev came out with a poor performance and did not drop a point after his first serve, according to Infosys ATP Stats.
If Zverev can keep winning, he will move ahead of Jannik Sinner and record the Tour-leading 66th victory of 2024. The 27-year-old owns a 22-13 record in the finals.
In order to get the seventh and biggest ATP Tour title of his career, Humbert will have to meet the deficit. The 26-year-old, 6-1 in finals, is aiming to become the first Frenchman to win in Paris since Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in 2008.
