The German youngster Alexander Zverev earned the greatest win of his career on Sunday when he defeated world number two Novak Djokovic 6-4 6-3 to win the Italian Open on Sunday.
Zverev is just 20-years-old and he was leading the game throughout the tournament till he broke Djokovic in the very first game as he became the youngest winner of a Masters 1000 tournament since the Serb himself in Miami in 2007.
He played with a ease and controlled the game with his fluid two-handed backhand and heavy forehand.
Zverev broke again in the third game of the second set and clinched the match with another break in the ninth game.
Djokovic, who had struggled with injuries and lack of confidence since winning the French Open last June, had looked his old wrestling self when he beat Dominic Thiem in Saturday’s semi-final but was unable to gain that form on Sunday.
