Alexander Zverev wins the second edition of the Ultimate Tennis Showdown after beating Felix Auger Aliassime in a nail-biting final. The German defeated the Canadian after the sudden death with a 19-10 11-13 11-18 18-8 2-1 scoreline.
This was the first time that Zverev played after the Adria Tour. The world no.7 was also slammed after he was caught breaking his promise to self-quarantine to skip the following exhibition in Berlin after being criticized by the tournament director. In the meantime, Sascha has started a partnership with David Ferrer that will be his coach.
On the women’s side, it was Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova that conquered the title after beating Alize Cornet in the final 16-8 12-11 11-14 9-16 3-1.
