For the fifth consecutive season, a member of the 'Next Gen' has won the ATP Masters Cup. The relay, which is so difficult to see in the 'Grand Slam', does take place in the tournament that closes the season.

Alexander Zverev has been crowned master for the second time after defeating Daniil Medvedev 6-4, 6-4.

The German, the number one of the year in tournament wins (6) and victories (59), adds his name to the list of other new players with at least two crowns in the masters event.

In the youngest final since 2005, Zverev always gave the feeling of having a fresh point both tennis and mental.

And that came from playing a semifinal of three sets and 2 hours and 28 minutes against Novak Djokovic. Medvedev dominated the precedents with the German by six to five. But it is also true that the last five heads-up had fallen on his side.

Erase and new account. Zverev gave first with a 'break' in the third game. Turin's surface is so fast that a break virtually secures the set for a server. That's what happened with Sascha.

The Russian was apathetic, as if the final was not with him. He handed over the kick to him for the second time at the start of the second set.

Gilles Cervara's pupil was always in tow of his opponent, who took advantage of each of the gifts that came from the other side of the net.

No one can dispute the triumph of a player who becomes the fourth capable of beating the top two in the rankings on the way to the title. The other three were Ivan Lendl (1982), Stefan Edberg (1989), and Andre Agassi (1990).

The world teacher, who missed his father Alexander, replaced on the bench by the tennis player's brother, Mischa, has taken another step in his career in 2021.

Zverev, 24, has found the consistency he lacked on the big stages. In his trophy cabinet, two Masters 1,000, Mutua Madrid Open and Cincinnati stand out; two Open Open 500, Acapulco and Vienna; the Tokyo Olympics and now the Masters Cup.

His 7,840 points put him in the race to one day be the circuit leader. He is 800 points behind Medvedev and 3,700 behind Djokovic.

End of season

Zverev ends his season today because he has given up defending the country from him in the Davis Cup finals. Medvedev is expected in Madrid where Russia shares the group stage with Spain and Ecuador.
