World No.5 Greek is now just a win away from retaining his Monte Carlo title as he breezed past Zverev in just 75 minutes. In the semi-finals, the Greek played a tiring three-setter against Diego Schwartzman, but he showed no signs of fatigue as he dominated Zverev throughout the match.
The World No. 5 struck the ball cleanly throughout, and while Zverev responded with some fierce groundstrokes of his own it was the Greek who produced the goods at crucial moments.
Tsitsipas looked dialled in from the start on Court Rainier III and appeared to have the upper hand for most of the opening set as he struck the ball sweetly off both wings. Zverev fought hard to twice recover from a break down but the Greek produced a tenth game full of variety to clinch a third break and seal the set. In the second set, the Greek broke twice and sealed the game in his favour.
