Alexander Zverev clinched his second Italian Open title on Sunday, showcasing an impressive serving performance in a 6-4, 7-5 victory over Nicolas Jarry. The German player secured 20 of his 21 service points in the first set, maintaining his momentum throughout the match. Zverev’s triumph marks a significant milestone in his recovery from a severe ankle injury sustained two years ago. The recent struggles of top-ranked Novak Djokovic and 14-time Roland Garros champion Rafael Nadal have positioned Zverev as a formidable contender in the upcoming French Open, commencing next Sunday. Despite facing a trial for alleged bodily harm allegations during Roland Garros, Zverev remains confident in his performance. The German player also acknowledged his ongoing injury concerns, including a bandaged pinky on his left hand, but emphasized his determination to defend his gold medal at the Paris Olympics tennis tournament later this year.
