Alexander Zverev claimed his maiden Masters title when he upset world number two Novak Djokovic 6-4 6-3 at the Italian Open on Sunday. Zverev himself broke in the very first game against an opponent who appeared drained after having to win two matches on Saturday to reach the final. Among the contendersZverev is the youngest Masters winner since a 19-year-old Djokovic won the 2007 Miami Open and will jump from world number 17 to number 10 when the rankings are updated on Monday. The last German to win a Masters honor was Tommy Haas at the 2001 Stuttgart Indoors and the last finalist Nicolas Kiefer nine years ago. Svitolina raced to a 5-0 lead in the final set before completing a Tour-leading 31st match win this year.
