Alexander Zverev closing in on Andy Murray and John McEnroe after Paris Masters glory
Alexander Zverev is continuing to reach milestones after lifting the Paris Masters trophy.
The German captured his seventh Masters 1000 title on Sunday, beating home favourite Ugo Humbert in a one-sided final.
He climbed a spot in the rankings to No. 2 as a result and is now closing in on Andy Murray after securing another year-end top-10 finish.
Zverev picked up his 23rd career title and second of the year in Paris-Bercy over the weekend. The third seed seized his opportunity when the draw fell apart, with world No. 1 Jannik Sinner pulling out and Carlos Alcaraz being upset in the round of 16.
The 27-year-old produced a clinical performance to break the Parisian fans’ hearts, beating Humbert 6-2 6-2 as the French No. 1 looked to become the first home champion of the tournament since 2011.
