Montreal, Aug 14 : In the final of the Rogers Cup Alexander Zverev handed Swiss great Roger Federer a rare defeat in this season, producing a solid effort to win 6-3, 6-4.
Sunday's final was the second ATP World Tour Masters 1000 title for the 20-year-old, who also won the Rome Masters earlier this year on clay as part of his breakthrough season.
The second-seeded Federer went 0-for-3 on break-point opportunities in the final of this hard court event, while the fourth-seeded Zverev earned one break in each set to hand Federer his third loss this season.
The 36-year-old Swiss, winner of a record 19 Grand Slam titles, has turned back the clock in 2017 with major titles at both the Australian Open and Wimbledon.
Both he and Zverev will be among a handful of favourites in the final Grand Slam event of the tennis season, the US Open, which gets under way on August 28.
