Zverev wins biggest trophy since ankle injury two years ago
Alexander Zverev , of Germany, holds his trophy after defeating Nicolas Jarry , of Chile, in the Italian Open tennis tournament final match at Rome 's Foro Italico on May 19.Alexander Zverev put on a serving clinic in a 6-4, 7-5 win over 24th-ranked Nicolas Jarry to claim his second Italian Open title Sunday and earn his biggest trophy since tearing his ankle apart two years ago.
This year’s French Open starts next Sunday and now Zverev has established himself among the favourites again – especially with top-ranked Novak Djokovic and 14-time Roland Garros champion Nadal both struggling lately. Djokovic and Nadal were eliminated in the second and third rounds, respectively, in Rome.
And Zverev isn’t 100 per cent healthy either. He had the pinky on his left hand bandaged due to a fall in his quarter-final win over Taylor Fritz, after which he said he “tore a capsule” and that his finger was “crooked.”
