Zverev Wins First Masters Title in Rome, Agassi to Join Djokovic in Paris

Congrats to Zverev on his first Masters title today in Rome when he defeated Djokovic 6-4, 6-3. I always thought Zverev was the real deal but Djokovic was a disaster today. Since yesterday he moved from one extreme to the other.

Just no confidence or mojo whatsoever. He dropped serve in the first game of the match and never recovered as he got broken two more times in the second set. It has to go down as one of the worst matches he’s ever played.

Not that I’m complaining. Djokovic improved with every clay court event this season and went a round further in each. If he continues in this fashion he will defend his French Open title. The match against Thiem was also unexpected and cause for optimism.

History’s just been made in Rome! #Zverev wins the #ibi17 Final vs @DjokerNole 64 63 and breaks into the Top 10 of the #ATP ranking! † pic.twitter.com/Miaw8LURjJ
