Alexander Zverev Warms Up For French Open 2024 With Italian Open Triumph - In Pics

Germany's Alexander Zverev defeated Nicolas Jarry of Chile to claim the men's singles title at the Italian Open 2024 on Sunday. The straight sets (6-4, 7-5) win, his second in Rome and a sixth ATP Masters 1000 title, helped the 27-year-old climb to No. 4 in the ATP Rankings. This was also her biggest win on the tour following his ankle injury during the French Open 2022 semi-finals. Zverev will be one of the favourites at the Roland Garros, again. Jarry, meanwhile, was a first-time Masters 1000 finalist in Rome.
