(Reuters) – Alexander Zverev warmed up for the French Open by winning his sixth Masters title when he beat first-time finalist Nicolas Jarry 6-4 7-5 in the Italian Open final on Sunday.
It was a second title in Rome for Zverev having won his first in 2017 when he was a 20-year-old and his first trophy since he broke his ankle in the French Open semi-finals in 2022.
Chilean Jarry, who had beaten Stefanos Tsitsipas and Tommy Paul to reach the final, could not break Zverev after the German won 95% of his first-serve points.
