ATP Tour: Zverev Beats Jarry To Win Title In Rome, Sixth Masters 1000 Crown So Far
ATP Live Rankings: German star Alexander Zverev defeated first-time finalist Nicolas Jarry in straight sets to claim the Italian International title here and bag his sixth ATP Masters 1000 crown on Sunday. The German moved past Chile's Jarry 6-4, 7-5 at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia on Sunday to win the title in Rome for a second time.
With this triumph, Zverev will climb to No. 4 in the ATP Rankings on Monday, with his Rome title the biggest he has earned since he suffered a disappointing ankle injury in the Roland Garros semifinals in 2022. Before Sunday's title triumph, the 27-year-old’s most recent Masters 1000 triumph came in Cincinnati in 2021, while he also lifted the ATP Finals trophy in the same season.
Zverev showed great athleticism to soak up Jarry's big hitting during the one-hour, 41-minute minute clash and he took large cuts off both wings to take time away from the Chilean, who was unable to find the required consistency in crucial moments.
