Zverev celebrates triumphals birthday victory in Munich and returns!

München, Deutschland - It was a day full of emotions and sporty height flights: Alexander Zverev not only celebrated his first title of the 2025 season, but also his 28th birthday with a triumph at the BMW Open in Munich. The German tennis star showed an impressive performance in the final against the American Ben Shelton and won 6: 2, 6: 4. This victory marks its third title in the Bavarian capital and represents an important moral booster according to a number of moderate results that had burdened it in the past few months. As reports ed-live.de, this success is classified as a possible prelude to a promising sandplace season.

The viewers in Munich experienced Zverev in top form. Right at the beginning of the game, he managed a break that quickly gave him a clear advantage in the first set. After 33 minutes, Zverev secured the first set. Even in the second round, he did not stop and achieved an early break again. With the winning of the match ball, Zverev ended the game after 71 minutes and celebrated his 24th tournament victory, while he at the same time obtained 500 valuable points for the world rankings that are important to the big goal, the Roland Garros.

For Zverev, the next big test will be the upcoming Masters 1000 in Madrid.
