First big success for Alexander Zverev in 2021: The native of Hamburg won his 14th title on the ATP tour in Acapulco, beating Stefanos Tsitsipas 6: 4 and 7: 6 (3) in the final. In a match that swayed back and forth: The Greek quickly took a 4-1 lead, Zverev then made five games in a row, got set one. In the second round, Zverev made the break to 5: 4, but could not use his first match point on his own serve. In the tie-break, however, the German set the pace, especially on the defensive with his backhand.
