BTW, this win today has put Zverev at a new career high ranking of 17! That means he is ranked above Kyrgios!

250 kph top speed. Hopefully the flight to Madrid is a safe one.

She'll be on Cloud 9 somewhere. Probably won't land for a while.

3 Titles at 20 years old! Not many active players can say that!

3rd ATP title, 2nd of the season,1st on home soil (becomes 6th German player to win in Munich keeping the home flag flying after Kohlschreiber's win last year). Congrats Sacha!!

1st clay title !!! But not the last I'm sure Sascha is leaving all the other 21 and under far behind! Same # of titles as KG, he just passed him in the rankings!

Same # of titles as KG, he just passed him in the rankings!

Yes but thats just because Kyrgios plays relatively few tournaments. Kyrgios is still the better player than Zverev!

He's tracking nicely. His return game was rolling on hard courts in the Fall and I think its back. With his improving serve game since the Fall its just going to get better and better. He's got opportunity at Madrid, but Cilic is playing distrubingly well with off the charts return stats on clay. I think the Zed on display bags him, but nothing less. If he wins that then I think he's got a ticket to an SF showdown with Thiem or Murray. He's playing a lot of events so Madrid will show if he's getting close to slam stamina.

For a short while. If Zverev keeps his return game up he may already be better than Kyrgios. Kygrios has improved his return game, but its very marginal and its got to get better this year or next; much better. He'll be another Roddick for most of his career otherwise.

Ive been proudly on that train for a while, and not jumping off anytime soon!

That's totally irrelevant, sorry, since # of minor events included in the ranking points is limited. Z earned his spot, fair and square. The ball is in Nick's camp now

Forget about Cilic. I'm worried about Dasco. Madrid is his home tournament. Tough draw.

Good tournament for Zverev. He needed a title win to boost some of his confidence going into madrid.
