Alexander Zverev vs Arthur Fils THRILLER For The Title 🏆 | Hamburg 2024 Final Highlights

Saving 21/22 break points against the world number 4 is no joke

Fils played unreal. Gonzalez level power. Hitting through Zverev on Clay is not easy but Fils forehand was a bazooka.

19/20 Break points saved. Good job from Fils, but this is bad from Zverev. That is why he will never win a slam, this choking

Zverev choking in finals has become my favorite pastime

Arthur Fils was a true warrior in this game, he saved 21 of 22 break points, he was booed by the public several times, he spent 4 games without receiving water, he can go far if he continues with this warrior mentality

Haha that stare down Arthur gave to the crybaby at the end 😂 love it

Hats off to Fils incredible forehand. Zverev such poor attitude. He can only blame himself with so many break chances.

Zverev still behaves now like he did when he was 18. He really needs to grow up. The Ostapenko/Putinseva style handshake was laughable.

That handshake Zverev gave Fils belongs on the WTA tour Lol 😂😂😂

This kid is a top ten material...good luck Fils, your Tennis is a sight to see

Why the booing? The underarm serve is a legit and very effective technique. It's just part of the game.

That underarm serve at such a crucial moment……balls of steel

So why was Zverev complaining to the ref at the end? Fils didn't do anything wrong, unless they didn't show it.

Fils is a fiery and feisty character with the skill and talent to match it. He's got the game and mindset to challenge the domination of Alcaraz and Sinner in the future. I don't see anyone else in the Top 10 who can break the hegemony of Carlos and Jannik.

Zverev is such a temperamental and bad loser. Even lower rung than Ostapenko's and Puntisevas of the world... They almost invariably give a cold handshake or a slightly warm one when they are winning. But this two-faced guy, Zverev, when he is in a mood, clings and clutches to the opponent at the net and gives them a long "encouragement speech." And now he can't even congratulate Fils on his victory, just because he choked big time again, and Fils snatched the victory from him. The underhand serve is just an excuse to be mad.

Fils is a generational talent ! 20yo and huge futur ahead of him ! as a french guy i was looking forward a talent like him

Every time I think I couldn’t like Zverev less than I already do, he does something to prove me wrong. It will be interesting to see what kind of nonsense he gets up to next.

Zverev doing ATP proud by introducing the Ostapenko handshake on the men's side so we don't feel left out.

Zverev needs a sports psychologist. Losing to Alcaraz up 2 sets to 1 is one thing, but 1-7 to Fils in the final tiebreak is another. For the world #4 to convert 1 of 22 break points versus anyone is classic mental fragility. Fils played the best match of his life so far, but 1/22 is inexcusable for Zverev given his skill and talent. In related news, this level from Fils was shocking -- the absurd accuracy, the power, the movement -- a few more tournaments like this and he becomes the clear favorite to join Alcaraz and Sinner for the next-gen Big 3. Right now, Rune still has the edge, but Rune hasn't been good in what feels like a year, including his loss to Fils in this same tournament. Then again, Fils does play very similarly to Felix, including the same grunt and all -- could also have a meteoric rise and then a gradual decline into virtual irrelevance. Too soon to say, but the immediate signs over the past month are good for the Frenchmen (Perricard in Wimbledon, Gaston against Zverev, Fils against Zverev).

Zverev: My forehand is bigger than yours Fils: hold my torpedoes 😩
