The German exceeds 6-4 the US and wins the 500 tournament. In Spain last act between the home idol and run
Alexander Zverev takes the ATP 500 of Monaco for the third time in his career and returns, waiting for Carlos Alcaraz in Barcelona, number two of the world behind Jannik Sinner: if the Spaniard should lose in the final against Holger Rune, he will be the German behind Jannik in the ATP ranking. A finally convincing Zverev, who demolished a good Ben Shelton in the challenge for the title, with a dominant 6-2 6-4 that also went beyond the score. For Sasha is the first title won in 2025, he did not win from the 1000 of Bercy conquered in November last year, the twenty -fourth in his career but above all this is a success that restores vigor to Zverev, back from a very difficult period, with the defeat in the final against Sinner in Melbourne and a series of absolutely disastrous tournaments, from the South American tour on the ground passing from Indian Wells and Miami Finally, then in Montecarlo, where he was immediately eliminated by Matteo Berrettini. The pressure of having to chase Jannik Sinner to finally become the number one in the world, he has clearly conditioned him, and it is no coincidence that now, free from that worm (too far from Jannik and with too many points out on Earth, at least in the immediate future) he has finally been able to play more loose, and Munich has shown it. During the tournament Sasha lived difficult moments, against Griekspoor in the quarterfinals, where he really risked losing, but was then perfect in the semifinal and above all in the final, against an excellent Ben Shelton, who showed that he was also able to play on the beaten earth but who was almost always dominated by the German at every stage of the game.
