Alexander Zverev wins ATP Championship 2018

Alexander Zverev wins ATP Championship 2018

  • Alexander Zverev beat world number one Novak Djokovic 6-4 6-3 to win the ATP Finals on Sunday - the biggest title of the German’s fledgling career.
  • The 21-year-old broke serve once in the opening set and three times in the second to pull off a shock victory in a packed O2 Arena - denying Serbian Djokovic a record-equalling sixth title at the ATP’s blue-riband event.
  • Djokovic was a firm favourite having looked unbeatable all week, not dropping a set or even a service game, but 24 hours after being booed following a semi-final win over Roger Federer, Zverev had the crowd drooling over an audacious display.
  • Zverev is the first German to win the title since Boris Becker in Frankfurt in 1995 and the youngest since Djokovic won at the same age in Shanghai in 2008. Djokovic had beaten Zverev comfortably in the round-robin phase on Wednesday, but he looked edgy.
