剛剛結束的馬德里大師賽決賽中，亞歷山大•茲維列夫以6-4，6-4擊敗多米尼克•蒂姆，成功問鼎，後者曾在1/4決賽戰勝拉斐爾•納達爾。茲維列夫延續了一週前在慕尼黑公開賽獲勝的良好狀態，這是繼2017年的羅馬站和蒙特婁站後，茲維列夫職業生涯第3個ATP 1000大師賽冠軍，同時他的世界排名也保持在第三位。

Alexander Zverev defeated Dominic Thiem, who knocked out Rafael Nadal in the quarter-final, winning 6-4, 6-4 in the Madrid Masters final. Zverev, already victorious in Munich the week before, wins the 3rd Masters 1000 of his career (after Rome and Montreal in 2017), keeping his World No. 3 ranking.

茲維列夫在納達爾的家鄉展現了完美的掌控力，整個馬德里大師賽期間未丟一個發球局。在茲維列夫看來，“納達爾仍是必須擊敗的人，也是羅蘭•加洛斯最受歡迎的球員。”年僅21歲，茲維列夫和排名世界第二的納達爾一起，組成RICHARD MILLE大家庭中的網壇最強雙重奏。他對蒂姆的勝利就像一場復仇賽，因為這場比賽縮小了兩位球員之間的勝場差距。

Zverev’s performance in Nadal’s homeland was perfectly mastered. The German did not concede a set during his Madrid week. For Alexander, «Rafa is still the man to beat and the big favorite for Roland Garros». At the age of 21, Zverev together with Rafa Nadal who is world No. 2, are a strong double act in the Richard Mille family. His victory against Thiem was like a revenge match as it reduced the gap in the number of victories between the two players.
