Novak Djokovic’s Wife, Patrick Mouratoglou and Others Laud Alexander Zverev As He Clinches ATP Finals 2021

It was the final of the ATP Finals 2021 and we had German tennis star Alexander Zverev take on World No. 2 Russian star Daniil Medvedev. This match had all the makings of an epic battle. However, the match seemed pretty one-sided. 

As the match started, both players held their opening service games with ease. Suddenly, in the third game, Alexander Zverev noticed an opportunity and got the first break of the match. 

Alexander Zverev too consistent against the Russian powerhouse 

He soon consolidated the break and nearly broke Daniil Medvedev for the second time. However, the Russian player managed to hold serve and hang in the set. After 34 minutes, it was the World No. 3 German player who sealed the set 6-4 in his favor. 

Medvedev began proceedings in the second set. Surprisingly, he was broken in the very first game. From there on, it was Zverev who did not let his foot lose. He did not lose his service game once during the match. 

A clinical performance by the World No. 3 

In the end, after 42 minutes, he sealed the set 6-4 and thus won the ATP Finals 2021. Both players had faced each other during the group stage matches earlier this week. In that tie, it was the Russian star who came out on top. 

After today’s win, let us take a look at some of the tweets congratulating the German World No. 3 on his second ATP Finals title. Jelena Djokovic, Novak Djokovic’s wife, was one of the first ones to congratulate him. Even Serena Williams’ coach Patrick Mouratoglou joined in, offering best wishes.

Zverev has already set his sights on the next season. He has had one of his best seasons this year, winning the Olympic Gold medal and now the ATP Finals 2021. All eyes will be on him when he steps on the tennis courts in the next year.
