Zverev, far too strong for Humbert, takes over from Djokovic in Paris!

Alexander Zverev has just won the 2024 edition of the Rolex Paris Masters. In the final, he proved far too strong for Ugo Humbert, winning in just over an hour and two short sets (6-2, 6-2). The German succeeds Novak Djokovic on the tournament's honours list.

Excellent from start to finish, the world n°3 gave the Frenchman no chance. He was incredibly solid from the baseline and attacked his opponent at the slightest opportunity. What a performance from the German!

Zverev thus adds his name to the tournament's trophy cabinet for the first time, having lost the final in 2020. At the age of 27, he also wins the 7th Masters 1000 title of his career.

He will be world No. 2, ahead of Carlos Alcaraz, from Monday, and will go into the ATP Finals in Turin from November 10 to 17 with his confidence boosted.

Finally, Zverev will be remembered as the player who won the last match at the Accor Arena (POPB) in the history of the event. "Paris-Bercy" will be played at the Paris La Défense Arena from 2025 onwards.
