Alexander Zverev ended Alejandro Davidovich's dream of being able to enter the ATP Finals. The Spaniard had a minimal chance, which relied on winning the ATP Rolex Paris Masters 2025 title and waiting for other results. But all possibilities vanished with the German's resounding victory by 6-2, 6-4.

Possibly the most interesting match of the many that took place in the round of 16 of the Masters 1000 in Paris. Alejandro Davidovich and Alexander Zverev faced off in a duel with different interests. The German aiming to defend his crown and finish a very irregular year with the best possible feelings. The Spaniard trying to keep alive the slim hope of reaching the ATP Finals.

Alexander Zverev barely gave Davidovich any chances in the Paris Masters 1000 round of 16

However, the Malaga native did not start on the right foot. In fact, a stumble made him place his hand on the ground in an awkward position, and that initial discomfort caused him to lose his service right away, allowing a composed and focused Zverev to take a 3-1 lead in a game that lasted 11 minutes.

That missed opportunity, where Foki had three break points, weighed on him throughout the rest of the first set and boosted the German's confidence, who was playing a great match, causing damage with his forehand and backhand and capitalizing on the numerous unforced errors from the Malaga player. Thus, the Hamburger secured the first set (6-2), where he barely offered more chances than the three break points mentioned earlier.

Davidovich's tennis hardly troubled Zverev, who was very focused from the start, aware of the great opportunity he had to retain the title, delving deeper into the Spaniard's vulnerabilities by breaking his serve in the first game of the second set. Everything seemed decided, but Davidovich rose, showed his fighting spirit, and instantly recovered the break.

Foki gained momentum, with the Parisian crowd, eager for more tennis, cheering him on. As volcanic as usual, the Spaniard fully engaged in the match and took the lead in the second set, moments after being on the brink of defeat.

However, this frenzy took its toll on Davidovich, who requested the physio due to discomfort in his left thigh. With physical limitations, his tennis did not quite support him. So Zverev, unfazed by the Spaniard's resurgence, did not miss the chance and broke in the seventh game of the second set to create a substantial lead.

At that moment, Davidovich's chances were over as Zverev did not forgive, closing out a very serious and complete match with his serve (6-2, 6-4). The German regains some of his best tennis towards the end of the season, aiming to defend the title in Paris and pursue success in the ATP Finals. Meanwhile, Alejandro Davidovich concludes a season with peaks of great tennis that he could not translate into titles.
