Zverev bests Djokovic to win Italian Open

Alexander Zverev signalled his anticipated arrival among the tennis elite by defeating Novak Djokovic 6-4, 6-3 Sunday to win the Italian Open. The 20-yearold Zverev became the youngest player to win a Masters 1000 event since Djokovic won in Miami a decade ago at 19. Earlier, Elina Svitolina surged to No. 1 in the season-long rankings race by beating Simona Halep 4-6, 7-5, 6-1 in the women’s final.
