Next Gen ATP Finals: Alexander Zverev continued his steady progress at the Italian Open after defeating Belgium’s Alexander Blockx 6-1, 6-4 to book a place in the fourth round of the Masters 1000 event in Rome on Sunday.

The victory marked the second time in just over a week that Zverev had beaten the 21-year-old Belgian, having also overcome him in straight sets during the semi-finals of the Madrid Open 2026 earlier this month.

Playing on the windy courts of the Foro Italico, the German produced a composed display and controlled most of the baseline exchanges to complete the win in 74 minutes.
