Zverev beats Tiafoe to claim Vienna Open title

Alexander Zverev continued his dominant form since the summer, beating Frances Tiafoe 7-5 6-4 in the Vienna Open final.

Germany’s Zverev, 24, edged the 23-year-old American qualifier in two tight sets to claim his fifth tour level title this season.

Zverev has won all five finals he has contested this season, also winning titles in Acapulco, the Madrid and Cincinnati Masters, and Olympic gold in Tokyo, losing just two matches since the Wimbledon fourth round.

The German has already qualified for the ATP Tour Finals, which he won in 2018, to be held in Turin.
