[ESP - ENG] ¡Ahí viene Sascha! “Barrida Final” Alexander Zverev Supera a Rublev y es Campeón en el ATP de Cincinnati. // Here comes Sascha! "Final Sweep" Alexander Zverev beats Rublev to become Cincinnati ATP Champion.

It is rare to see a final with less excitement than the games prior to this one, in this case, the semifinals were far superior in terms of competitiveness and one of the differences was the absence of epic comebacks, which were experienced in both presentations of the instance prior to today's final. However, the atmosphere was in keeping with the occasion of celebrating the one hundred and twentieth edition of the Cincinnati Masters Tournament. With the toughest kids this week. From my personal point of view, the tournament has lived up to expectations, since it has had exciting duels between elite players, such as Berrettini vs Auger-Aliassime; Medvedev vs Carreño; Tsitsipás vs Zverev and Rublev vs Paire, among others. However, everything has resulted in a final between friends, which I will now comment on some details.

Rublev inicia sacando, inmediatamente le vi con dudas (se le notaba nervioso), dejó su primer saque en la red y su rival le jugó al contrapié y luego al paralelo, incluso dejándole mal parado; por lo cual ese quiebre en su primer saque y la confirmación con su potente servicio, para nada me impresionaron. Esto me dio un bosquejo de lo que estaba por venir, porque el servicio del alemán llevaba un efecto de “sidespin” impresionante, que el moscovita no podía descifrar. Sascha volvería a romper el servicio en el tercer game y en apenas 11 minutos ya estaba arriba 3 – 0; fue hasta el quinto game cuando Andrey despertó y acertó par de aces para registrar su primer 1 en la pizarra.
El resto fue dominio total para el germano, que ganaba sus games en blanco y en tan solo 27 minutos, se adjudicaba autoritariamente el primer set con marcador de 6 – 0.

Rublev started serving, immediately I saw him with doubts (he was nervous), he left his first serve in the net and his rival played against him and then to the parallel, even leaving him badly standing; so that break in his first serve and the confirmation with his powerful serve, did not impress me at all. This gave me a glimpse of what was to come, because the German's serve had an impressive sidespin effect, which the Muscovite could not decipher. Sascha would break serve again in the third game and in just 11 minutes he was already up 3 - 0; it was until the fifth game when Andrey woke up and hit a couple of aces to register his first 1 on the board.
The rest was total domination for the German, who won his games in white and in just 27 minutes, he authoritatively won the first set with a score of 6 - 0.

La segunda vuelta comenzaría igual que la anterior, con un quiebre por parte de Sascha; y aunque esta vez Rublev presentaba algo de resistencia, no era suficiente para detener el monólogo de Zverev, que se hacía con otro break en el cuarto game y trazaba con aún más claridad, el camino hacia su título. Pero en el octavo game, el ruso le hace saber al público que aún sigue en cancha y da algunas muestras de buen tenis, contrarrestando bien y con la ayuda de su amigo (Doble falta de Zverev), obtiene un quiebre que se gana los aplausos de las gradas. No obstante, esta alegría duraría pocos minutos, dado que Alexander con otro poco de presión, le rompía el servicio a Andrey; sellando la victoria en 58 minutos. Marcador final 6 – 2 y 6 – 3 (una verdadera tunda).

The second round would start the same as the previous one, with a break by Sascha; and although this time Rublev presented some resistance, it was not enough to stop the monologue of Zverev, who took another break in the fourth game and traced with even more clarity, the path to his title. But in the eighth game, the Russian let the public know that he was still on court and showed some signs of good tennis, countering well and with the help of his friend (Zverev's double fault), he got a break that won the applause of the stands. However, this joy would last only a few minutes, since Alexander with another bit of pressure, broke Andrey's serve; sealing the victory in 58 minutes. Final score 6 - 2 and 6 - 3 (a real thrashing).

Gana Zverev su cuarto título de este año (Acapulco, Madrid, Tokio 2020 y Cincinnati); pero lo que en realidad me sorprende, es que Sascha da muestras de haber llegado a un nuevo nivel tenístico; con otro estatus que le distingue del resto (falta verle contra Medvedev y ojalá sea en el US Open).
Además de los 1000 puntos, que le acercan al tercer puesto de Stéfanos, se lleva un jugoso premio monetario de 1.114.225 dólares y su quinto trofeo de “Maestros” de la ATP de su carrera, que a sus 24 años, nos depara grandes duelos, rivalidades y emociones.
Alexander Zverev está preparado para el US Open que comenzará en una semana y que solamente espera por Novak Djokovic para completar el roster.

¡Hasta pronto!

Zverev wins his fourth title this year (Acapulco, Madrid, Tokyo 2020 and Cincinnati); but what really surprises me, is that Sascha shows signs of having reached a new tennis level; with another status that distinguishes him from the rest (we have yet to see him against Medvedev and hopefully it will be at the US Open).
In addition to the 1000 points, which brings him closer to the third place of Stefanos, he gets a juicy monetary prize of 1,114,225 dollars and his fifth ATP "Masters" trophy of his career, which at 24 years old, gives us great duels, rivalries and emotions.
Alexander Zverev is ready for the US Open that will start in a week and is only waiting for Novak Djokovic to complete the roster.

See you soon!
