JAKARTA Germany's Alexander Zverev confirmed that he would come out as the 2024 Paris Masters champion after beating the hosts' hopes, Ugo Humbert.

Zverev claimed the first Paris Masters title in his career after winning two straight sets 6-2 and 6-2 on Sunday, November 3, 2024, local time.

The victory over France's number one player made the tennis player who had just risen to second in the world secure the seventh ATP 1000 title in his career.

"I knew I had to play like this to win today," Zverev was quoted as saying by ATP.

This is the final of the four players this year, with Zverev losing in the French Open final to Carlos Alcaraz in June 2024.

However, the victory, which was secured in the semifinals on Saturday, November 2, 2024, was enough to ensure Zverev surpassed Alcaraz and returned to second place in the world.

In addition, this is also the second Masters title Zverev won this year after Rome. Zverev also became the second German to win in Paris after Boris Becker.

"Winning this title in Paris means everything to me. I believe it means everything to those around me because they have done a lot for me," said Zverev.

This is also Zverev's 66th win this year (66-20), which makes him outperform world number one Jannik Sinner (65-6).
