Paris Masters: Alexander Zverev beats Ugo Humbert in final
Germany’s Alexander Zverev claimed a straight-set win over home favourite Ugo Humbert to clinch his first Paris Masters title.
The new world number two beat the French number one 6-2 6-2 on Sunday to secure the seventh ATP 1000 title of his career.
Both were playing in their fourth final of the year, with Zverev having lost the French Open final to Carlos Alcaraz in June.
Zverev’s semi-final win on Saturday was enough to ensure the 27-year-old will now leapfrog Alcaraz and regain second spot in the ATP rankings.
Humbert, 26, stunned Alcaraz in the last 16 at Palais Omnisports in Bercy before reaching his first Masters final, becoming the first French finalist at the indoor event in 13 years.
“I came as a kid to watch matches here and it made me want to do what I do, so I’m very happy to have reached the final,” said the world number 18.
