Alexander Zverev wins 2021 Madrid Open

Alexander Zverev of Hamburg, Germany won the 2021 Madrid Open on Sunday. Zverev defeated Matteo Berrettini of Italy 6-7, 6-4, 6-3 in the final.

For Zevrev, it was his second Madrid Open title and fourth ATP Tour Masters 1000 Series victory of his career. He previously won the 2018 Madrid Open. There he beat Dominic Thiem of Austria in the final, 6-4, 6-4.

Zverev’s two other Masters 1000 Series titles came a year earlier in 2017. He beat the great Roger Federer of Switzerland 6-3, 6-4 at the 2017 Rogers Cup in Montreal, (the tournament is not named after Roger Federer, but the late wealthy Canadian businessman Ted Rogers), and Novak Djokovic of Serbia, 6-4, 6-3 in the final of the 2017 Italian Open from Rome. It is the 2021 Italian Open that started on Sunday.

In Madrid this past week, Zverev came through with a string of impressive victories. He defeated 2014 United States Open finalist Kei Nishikori of Japan 6-3, 6-2 in the second round, and then Daniel Evans of Great Britain 6-3, 7-6 in the third round. Evans made tennis headlines last month when he gave Djokovic his first loss in 2021 with a third-round win at the Monte Carlo Masters.

Zverev then beat Rafael Nadal of Spain, the five-time Madrid Open champion, 6-4, 6-4 in the quarterfinals, and then Thiem 6-3, 6-4 in the semifinals. The matchup between Zverev and Thiem was the first time the two players had played against each other since Thiem beat Zverev 2-6, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 7-6 in the final of the 2020 United States Open from Flushing Meadows, New York.

Zverev was seeded fifth in Madrid. In the ATP Rankings, Zverev’s current rank is sixth. Do not forget that Djokovic did not participate in Madrid last week.
