Alexander Zverev celebrated his 28th birthday with a significant win at the Munich Open, breaking a six-tournament drought where he failed to advance past the quarterfinals. He triumphed over Ben Shelton with a score of 6-2, 6-4 in the final, earning $531,644 and an electric car. His victory marks an important return to form ahead of the French Open. Despite recent challenges and a dip in rankings following the Australian Open, Zverev expressed happiness over his performance and the support from local fans, signifying a positive shift in his career trajectory.
This was one of the best weeks you can have as a tennis player. I don't think we need to talk about the last few weeks anymore.
Zverev's win in Munich on Sunday comes at an ideal time, with the second grand slam of the year, the French Open in Paris, just one month away.
