How can a match be of such high and low quality at the same time lmao

Am I the only one thinking we are always hard on zverev even though he is the most successful among the next gen. He won 3 masters 1000, world tour finals beating the likes of Federer and Djokovic in those and made a grand slam final + several slam semis and quarters.

Sleeveless tee: *exists* Zverev: I’ll put myself in there

This is one of new rivalries. We’ll see many more finals like this in future

Now that is a REAL HIGHLIGHTS (12min), Thanks Tennis TV!

Zverev has been playing much smarter, confident, mature tennis this year... Props to him, playing like this could propel him to top 5

When he airballed the overhead I thought it was over from then lmao

3 years, Alexander Zverev never beaten Stefanos Tsitsipas since Washington 2018

How Tsitsipas lost the first set is beyond me.

I'm equally impressed with Zverev's persistence in the first set as with Tsitsipas's calmness heading into the second a set behind. Compared to a few years ago they've become much more mature for sure, especially Tsitsipas. He shows good discipline on the tennis court. Great win for Zverev.

Tsitsipas is consistent in going deep in the tournaments but not winning them.

I'm really surprised at the lack of response from the crowd to 6:02 this shot!!! That shot was ridiculous...

The way Zverev started, it never seemed that he will win... From 1-4 to 6-4 in the first set, he really played well... Very well played, congratulations to him...

Magician, even made his racket disappear 11:20

Great fight from Zverev first ATP 500 Title in a long time

6:02 This has got to be over 100mph. They should totally show the speeds on these types of shots!

Wow! I can't believe how much Tsitsipas' nerves didn't hold at crucial moments, good work Zverev for mental fortitude to keep the fight on; that won him the match

so sad for stefanos, he never won atp 500 or atp 1000 but still inside top 10 from 2 years. Anyways again a consistent performance by him.

So glad to see a real crowd in the stadium. 👍

Can't wait to see how they go against karatsev.

Man how the game of tennis has evolved. it'd be hard to imagine 20 years ago that two guys this size can move like they do now. Zverev's a giant at 6'6 and stefanos is 6'4" lol

10:06Tsitsipas dad was like: yeah there was nothing you could do

Zverev hasn't lost a set after becoming a dad

Zverev can do so much damage/dominate other players if he gets aggressive. He’s extremely skillful. He just needs to be mentally strong. He probably flipped a switch after down 4-1, 30:0 and never looked back. Amazing! Hope he wins majors soon.

Who else was expecting Tsitsipas to break his racket especially in the first set

Very happy for Zverev

Alexander what a wonderful match. So proud of you from coming from 4 .1 down in the first set to winning this match. You have really come far with your playing last year and this year so have the confidence now that you can beat anyone. Glad to see you in that Mexican hat, also glad to see Dad and Mischa feeling so happy for you. Stay close to them and the rest of the family. xx

11:29 Zverev's dad needs clapping coaching.

We have to say, greek is so calm wherever and whenever he is. It is cool. It is way to top.

If Sascha keeps playing like this, he can get back to how good he used to be

Rafa in 2020: I wear sleeveless and won Acapulco easily Zverev in 2021: Hold my beer

Zverev is a fantastic player! If he improves his focus and lucidity (not easy) he can win many grand slams. The basics and shots that he has, together with his strength, stamina and speed, make him formidable.

Tsitsipas must work harder on his mentality in the finals. Not a very good record when he gets to that final match. Congratulations to Zverev anyway, i think he deserves this one. Good match overall.

Finally Zverev won again vs Tsitsipas. Brillant game. Big congrats to Alex!!!!

Finally zverev “ put himself in there”

Great comeback in the first set and great win. Well done Sasha

"Asparagus" no longer. Congrats to Zverev. Hope to see many more battles between these two in the future.

A comeback from zverev in set 1

Great mental strength my hero. Lovely performance zverev. Gotta work a lot on serve.

Great rivalry between these two. Nice to see how calm Tsitsipas stayed even though he had a bad day. He will be No. 1 some day no doubt.

you can hold your head up high Stefanos, you are the better all round player. Get Pat Rafter as a volley coach and your game will be perfect. Always a Fan Stefanos

Going from 4-1 to 4-6 and winning the set is just extraordinary

Congrats Sasha! Well deserved

When I saw Zverev down 0-4 in the first, I really thought "Zverev is the Logan Paul of tennis." But then he won 6 straight games from there and won the match and my heart. =' (

It is amazing how Alexander plays defensively when his about to win a big match. That's how he lost his grand slam final and many other important matches and could've gone to the third and maybe lose this one too.

Tsitsipas just can't seem to win an 500 event. 0-6 in 500 finals and this is the third final in a row that he lost in the Dubai/Acapulco week. I feel so bad for him and hopefully he can change this statistic in the future.

Thank you for the excellent highlights.

What a battle. The match was unbelievable.

First time Zverev has beat Tsitsipas in a long long time 😂🤣

Tsitsipas needs a new coach. He needs that for level Up his level for win a 500, 1000 or GS.

thank you for the excellent highlight!

Wow, Tennis TV really spoiling us with this 10+ min highlight! On side note, can't remember when was the last time first 2 seeds met in the finals of an ATP tourney. it was a good fight and congrats to Zverev:)

Tsitsipas style is so beautiful just the way it used to be combined with exquisite new technique. This time it was Zverev,but...

Zverev just won this ATP 500 tournament and I am still not convinced with him. At times playing too passive when he can overpower his opponents and that second serve is still a huge problem. Tsitsipas is also an exciting player and has much more consistent determination on his shots unlike Zverev, but lacks the power from both wings to go alongside that. Both have a great overall game, but lack that killer mentality when the match is tight and the pressure is high. And even though both have beaten Nadal and Novak in the past, neither is equipped with that extra boost its required to bring them down (or at least challenge them) in best of 5 matches.

That was a real thriller. This is one of the reasons we love tennis. 🎾

Georgeous match, Sascha 👌. You deserved this title in Acapulco! Great performance. By the way: You should wear this sombrero very often! Looks cool 😎. Best regards from Mosbach/Baden, Germany 🙋

That second serve though 9:00

Congrats to both🥰

Great match finally showing Sasha’s maturity - he is in the zone fighting his demons and getting stronger

I know we are going to miss Roger, Nadal and Novak, but these guys are going to give us some good tennis in the coming years!!!!

3:34 Boooooooom 💥

Wow Sasha nice job done. Gongratulation 🌞

Bravo Alexander !!! abrazos from Spain

amazing shots! amazing game! well done alexander!

congrats Sascha on an incredible win!!🥳👍

2:35 I was like why are they still playing after the serve was called out? Then I realized it wasn't an out call but Zverev's grunt. 🤣

Well played both players... Zverev fighting spirit really good .. Well deserved..👍

Great final, bravo to both. Zverev played with supreme confidence

11:22 the question is where did the racket land

Huge congrats to Alexander ZVEREV! He is my third favorite player after Federer and Del Potro. You absolutely deserved to attain such a gargantuan title in Acapulco Tennis Tourney which was conducted in Mexico, duel of two young players from the new generation, undoubtedly denoting the quality of the tennis world, inspiring the other people in order to become a professional tennis player worldwide. It was really sensational final encounter for us all. What a scintillating performance from Alexander Zverev in order to clinch 14th championship in such a notable tournament.

both legends 💪💪

Excellent Edit!!

this was literally a choke off, first zverev then tsisipas then more tsisipas then zverev then more zverev then tsisipas. it reminds me of the us open final v thiem only this time zverev's opponent choked more lmao

So sad seeing Stef lost this match. Bounce back, Tsitsi!

Great match from both ! Congrats zverev

Bravo à Alexander pour cette belle victoire après une superbe remontée.

Lol everyone liking Zverev and hating Tsitsipas all of a sudden after he wins a title

Congrats to zverev. Next gen finals still seem to be super shaky though. We need more of those to finally see them start to play their best when it really matters

Finally he has proved something good to himself for sure positively...unfortunately they are unable to repeat such high level tennis match final like the legends rivalry...anyways it was good to watch a good final match like the one in dubai...we were not disappointed thank you guys...if possible keep it up...

Great win. It always amazes me how Zverev can have such good results and be world number 7 and he can play sooo much better. He needs to improve his serve. Maybe improve a little mentally. Be a little more agressive. Have more confidence. And he will be unbeatable. The guy was literally 2 points away from winning a Slam and he was light-years from his best level. He was also Djokovic's most dangerous opponent in Australia, he was close to the 9-times champion who destroyed Medvedev in final. It's scary to think he is already so good and still can improve so much.

Wow. Zverev not chocking in a big game, that’s news

Zverev have to be proud to be champion again

Sverev 👏👏👏🏆 Dos grandes la renovación del tenis. Me encantan.

Both guys are talented can either one break through and win a grand slam I haven’t seen the mental toughness are the passion in the grand slams yet

until 4-1 in the first set it looked like zverev had never touched a racquet before

I feel bad for Zverev. If you look at his past 3 major/important matches, he has started off so well: led Thiem 2 sets and a break in US Open final, led Medvedev by a set in Paris final and led Djokovic by a set and multiple breaks throughout in Aus Open quarter final. And then he crumbles mentally and as a result lost those 3 matches. I still think, and such results prove, that he is the most dangerous of the younger generation BUT he just lacks the mental aspect when things get tight. That’s the only thing stopping him. Apart from a slow start today, he was in control of Tsitsipas most of the match, playing aggressive which he NEEDS too. But then again, got passive when things were tight. I’m so happy he won today as he’s had a rough 2019-2020 and a couple bruising losses ^ as of late. I just hope he maintains this mostly aggressive form and begins to build a strong mentality as I know he can be dominant; strong 1st serve, much improved forehand, world class backhand, decent volleys, athletic, fit and powerful. Best of luck Zverev 🇩🇪

Que bueno que gano Zverev...! Felicitaciones! Con el sombrero al final ! so nice ! hehe!

That one Awesome backhand at 3.35 started destroying the Tsitsi plans and confidence. loopy return 3.49 is out of the box to break the rhythm of Tsitsi. Overall great show extraordinary skills. thanks for the video.

Finally zverev has started to put himself in there😀

Well deserved 👍

The level was insane.

All I can say is wow😱❤️❤️

Watching the first 2 minutes, everything went Tsitsipas’ way... crazy that he couldn’t win the set

Positive for Zverev: he developed the mental strength to pull himself up after theses phases of in confident, very defensive playing which cause him to quickly fall behind in a match. Negative: repeatedly these phases of overly defensive playing reoccur, knowing they will cause falling behind. I wish one day he can skip these phases and play confident and agressive from beginning to the end. That will be required to win the very big titles.

I knew it, congrats Zverev!!

Que participación de Tsitsipas🤩.

Tsitsipas lost the finals in 2019 and 2020 in Dubai to Federer and Djokovic and decided to move to Acapulco only to lose the final to Zverev.... :D

Both these guys lose their serve technique under pressure, that is a big difference between them & Fed, Djoko, Rafa and Sampras. In fact I would say sampras & fed serve(d) better as the pressure went up. It will be interesting to see if they can overcome this?

Final battle ❌ Choke Battle ✅

One thing that immediately struck me in the first couple of points was how far Tsitsipas was behind the baseline, and how passively he was playing. That's got to be nerves.
