Hey there, tennis fans! 🎾
Guess what? On his 28th birthday, Alexander Zverev gave himself the best gift ever! 🎂🥳 The world No. 3 from Germany won his third BMW Open title in Munich on Sunday. He beat American player Ben Shelton with a score of 6-2, 6-4. How cool is that? 😎
Zverev has now matched fellow German Philipp Kohlschreiber’s record of three Munich titles. He first won the trophy in 2017 and then again in 2018. This victory marks his 24th career tour title and his first win of the season. 🏅
With lots of support from the home crowd, Zverev showed amazing skill and broke Shelton’s serve early. He took control of the match and kept up the momentum all the way through. 🏃♂️💨
After the match, Zverev said, "I definitely knew I had to play my best tennis today. Ben has been playing extremely well this week. The conditions suit him extremely well, it’s very hot and very fast. They suit me as well, to be fair. I enjoyed my birthday so far." 😊
This win also makes Zverev the first German to lift the upgraded ATP 500 trophy in Munich. Way to go, Alexander! 🎇
