Son - Zverev, icy handshake followed by champagne battle

By Guillaume Nonque

Arthur Fils defied the odds to win the final of the Hamburg ATP 500 tournament against Alexander Zverev on Sunday (6-3, 3-6, 7-6 [1]). A defeat that the German took very badly.

Probably depressed by his missed opportunities (Fils saved 21 break points out of 22), Zverev was very grumpy after the match point and offered an icy handshake to the young Frenchman who had just won the biggest title of his career (see video below).

But the good mood was back a few minutes later, when the trophy presentation ceremony took place. The German copiously drenched his opponent in champagne before making him drink the last drops from the bottle (see video below).

All's well that ends well.

Zverev A • 1

Fils A • 5

40e, 1260 points

3e, 5160 points

Why was there an icy handshake? I thought that was very sportsman like.

You have no clue or whatsoever . He shook his hand and looked away straight away. It's not very sportman like . Grow up knuckle head

Fils could have missed out on his biggest title: "To be honest, I didn't want to play Hamburg".

Son relieved but cautious: "Let's not get carried away".

Rune looks back on his retirement: "My knee is giving me problems".

I propose the following changes to the rules:

1...a walķover will not be a loss. We have no control of player's health. If he or she is entered in a contest we expect them to play.

2...an incomplete match is not a loss. If a player forfeits we pick another match if there are more to choose.

3...this also applies if TT cancels a match. TT will not take hours to decide an outcome.

How about leavin...

It's a shame that so many matches are being canceled. TT ,you are destroying your game ,and thereby killing your app. I don't know how many matches others have had canceled , but I'm at 3 and it's only thursday.

As a long time player and lover of this game , I don't know how much of this I can tolerate. For example I waited hours last night for you to confirm my win and post my points. Every ot...

This week I have used all my formulas and best guesses to try to achieve the high score jimandlori958 set in our last competition. I am two games short because of cancelations and I need all wins to get there.

An impressive win.. Congrats to our winner this week, jimandlori958 and with a score that could not be caught or matched. I don't remember a 56 in a while with our group. Nice to see everyone using the 2 point predictions. Can't win without 'em.
