Alexander Zverev claimed his first ATP 1000 title and the biggest scalp of his career by beating Novak Djokovic in the Rome Masters final on Sunday.

The 20-year-old Zverev won 6-4 6-3 to become the youngest player to win an ATP 1000 tournament since Djokovic, aged 19 in Miami, a decade ago. He became the first player born in the 1990s to win a Masters title.

Zverev broke four-time Rome champion Djokovic, the world No 2, in the first game and never relented, solidifying his break advantage with an ace before romping to the finish line.
