After his outstanding performance in defeating top seed Rafa Nadal in the Madrid quarter finals, it was expected that Dominic Thiem would take out the title.
Sascha Zverev (2) had other ideas. The young German star saved his best for last, serving consistently, and never facing a break point, in a final which he won 6-4 6-4.
This was title number 8 for Zverev, three of which are at Masters 1000 level. At Grand Slam level, Zverev has yet to break through, not yet boasting better than a fourth round result.
He will be hoping for better at Roland Garros in the coming weeks.
Before the players hit the Paris clay, Rome is up for grabs, and some first round matches were completed, even as Sascha was giving Dominic the once over.
Peter Gojowczyk defeated Sam Querrey (12) 6-2 7-6(7)
