Alexander Zverev Doubles Up in Montpellier Winning Singles and Doubles Titles

Alexander Zverev

 

(February 12, 2017) Nineteen-year-old Alexander Zverev defeated two-time defending champion Frenchmen Richard Gasquet 7-6(4), 6-3 to win the Open Sud de France in Mopntpellier on Sunday for his second career ATP World Tour title.

Zverev teamed up with his brother Mischa to also win the doubles title. The brothers Zverev defeated Fabrice Martin and Daniel Nestor 6-4, 6-7(3), 10-7 to win their first team title together.

“I’m very happy to win my first title of the year,” Alexander said. Obviously it was a very tough tournament, only one straight-sets match in the whole tournament, today, and it was not an easy one. I think it was a high-level match and I’m happy to get the win.”

 

“It’s great to win singles and doubles. I’m very happy with the way we played. We only dropped one set in the tournament. I think it was a very successful tournament for the Zverevs.”
Alexander becomes the first player to win singles and doubles titles at the same tournament since Lleyton Hewitt did it in Newport in 2014.

 

“It was an amazing week,” said older brother Mischa. “Congrats to my brother, winning singles and doubles for the first time. It’s always special playing doubles with him, especially playing well and winning. I’m really happy. I didn’t expect it.”

 

It’s also the first time a pair of brothers won a doubles title after one of them had won the singles title since Andy Murray did the double with Jamie Murray in Tokyo six years ago.
