Alexander Zverev has won the 2025 Bavarian Championships in Munich. On Sunday, Zverev defeated American Ben Shelton in the final, 6-2, 6-4.

For Zverev, it was his third Bavarian Championship. He previously beat Guido Pella of Argentina, 6-4, 6-3 in 2017, and fellow German Philipp Kohlschreiber in an all-German final in 2018, by a score of 6-3, 6-3.

Zverev has won three more tennis tournaments in his home country of Germany. He beat Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime in the final of the 2020 Cologne Indoors, 6-0, 6-3, Argentina’s Diego Schwartzman in the final of the Cologne Championship, 6-2, 6-1, and Laslo Djere of Serbia, 7-5, 6-3, in the final of the 2023 Hamburg Open.

In Munich this past week, Zverev only lost one set. That came in the quarterfinals, where he was beaten by Tallon Griekspoor of the Netherlands 7-6 in a first set tiebreak, before winning 7-6, 6-4.

In the Bavarian Championship final in 2025, Zverev broke Shelton on three occasions in four opportunities. Shelton did not have a break point chance the entire match. Zverev also won 89% of his first serve points.

This was the second straight year an American lost to a German in the Bavarian Championship final. Last year in Munich, Jan-Lennard Struff of Warstein defeated Taylor Fritz of Rancho Santa Fe, California, 7-5, 6-3.

Zverev was one of two players on Sunday to win an ATP 500 event. The other was Holger Rune of Denmark, who upset Carlos Alcaraz of Spain, 7-6, 6-2 in the final of the Barcelona Open.

With the win in Munich, Zverev returns to number two in the world. Alcaraz was second in the world for a week after he won Monte Carlo. Italy’s Jannik Sinner is still number one, as he serves his suspension for an illegal substance getting into his system.
