Alexander Zverev won his first match at the Western & Southern Open ever on Wednesday and he will leave Cincinnati as the Champion.
Am amazing week unfolded in Cincinnati for Alexander Zverev as the German went from never winning a match at the event to being a champion of it. In the final, he faced off his longtime friend on the Tour Andrey Rublev and crushed him 6-2 6-2. Zverev himself noted the crazy week saying:
“The first win I ever had on these courts was on Wednesday, four days ago, and now I have my first title here. It has been an incredible week, a lot of great matches. It
is an incredible feeling going into the US Open."
Zverev did not emphatically celebrate the win or any good rally as he explained after the match:
“I was playing pretty good tennis. I did not do a big celebration because I know how Andrey feels as well because we have been best friends since we were 11 years old and I know he is seeking his first Masters 1000 win, but it is going to come very soon I think."
Zverev is now on a 11-match winning streak dating back to the Olympic Games in Tokyo and asked whether he feels he can win the US Open he said:
“I don’t want to get ahead of myself yet. I won the gold medal and just won a Masters, which I am very happy about and am looking forward to New York.”

- I predicted whenthe list was finalised that Linda Noskova would win the WTA Finals and her matches against Gauff and Kostyuk prove that. She is the best (underrated) player in the world!Rapunzel11-11-2026
- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
