Zverev beats Federer in Montreal final

Rising tennis star Alexander Zverev kept his winning streak alive with a stunning 6-3, 6-4 victory over Swiss ace Roger Federer in the Rogers Cup final on Sunday in Montreal.

The 20-year-old Zverev, the winner last week in Washington, D.C., posted a 10th straight match victory and ended the 36-year-old Federer’s win streak at 16, a run that included a record eighth Wimbledon title and 19th major in July.

The German also tied Federer with a fifth tournament victory this year. He got even for a loss to Federer at Halle, Germany, on June 25 and evened their career head-tohead record at two wins each.

Zverev, the youngest Rogers Cup finalist since Novak Djokovic in 2007, was coming off an emotional semifinal victory over Canadian teenager Denis Shapovalov.

Federer missed a chance to tie Ivan Lendl for second place alltime with 94 tournament wins. Jimmy Connors leads with 109.

Elina Svitolina beat Caroline Wozniacki 6-4, 6-0 to win the Rogers Cup women’s tournament in Toronto, the 22-year-old Ukrainian’s fifth WTA Tour title this year.

Wozniacki, a 27-year-old former world No. 1 from Denmark, was the fourth top-10 player beaten by the fifth-ranked Svitolina this week and the third in two days. She defeated No. 9 Venus Williams in the third round, No. 4-ranked Wimbledon champion Garbine Muguruza in the quarterfinals and No. 2 Simona Halep in the semifinals.
