It's Alexander Zverev the winner of the 2024 edition of the Internazionali d'Italia as far as the men's singles is concerned. The German asserted himself in the final over a tenacious Nicolas Jarry, who capitulated 6-4, 7-5 after giving everything in the final act. A total of 101 minutes are needed to complete the match, further demonstrating a tough match for Zverev.

In fact, it took an acceleration in the 10th game to close out the set on 6-4 and give the 1-0 lead to the day's favorite.

The second fraction remains very balanced, and neither contender seems capable of even snatching a break.Zverev comes very close at 5-4, but wastes two match balls.

The one won today è moreover, the first tournament won by 'Sascha' in 2024: in fact, he had not won since the Chengdu ATP 250 (late September 2023), when he got the better of Roman Safiullin in the final.
