Rome: German tennis player Alexander Zverev rolled to a 6-4, 6-3 upset victory over Serbia’s Novak Djokovic in the Italian Open final, winning his first Masters 1000 title at the Foro Italico here on Sunday.<\/p>\nRome: German tennis player Alexander Zverev rolled to a 6-4, 6-3 upset victory over Serbia’s Novak Djokovic in the Italian Open final, winning his first Masters 1000 title at the Foro Italico here on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Djokovic was hoping to win his 31st ATP World Tour Masters 1000 title in Italy, but the four-time champion in Rome collided with rising star Zverev, who clinched his first big title on Sunday, reports Efe.<\/p>\n
Djokovic confirmed in his post-match press conference that former American world No. 1 Andre Agassi would be his new coach at the French Open, the season’s second Grand Slam tournament, which starts on May 28.<\/p>\n
The world No. 2 said he had reached an agreement with Agassi to start working together during Roland Garros.<\/p>\n
“We are both excited to work together and see where it takes us,” the Serbian star, who has won 12 Grand Slam titles, said.<\/p>\n
“We don’t have any long-term commitment. It’s just us trying to get to know each other in Paris a little bit. He will not stay the whole tournament. He’s going to stay only to a certain time, and then we’ll see after that what’s going to happen. We’ll see what the future brings,” the 29-year-old Djokovic, who fell out of the top spot in the ATP rankings in November, said.<\/p>\n
Ahead of the Madrid Open earlier this month, Djokovic, who turns 30 on Monday, parted ways with long-time coach Marian Vajda. He split with Boris Becker at the end of 2016.<\/p>\n
“Andre is someone that I have tremendous respect for as a person and as a player,” Djokovic said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
