Rogers Cup | Alexander Zverev stuns Federer to bag title; Bopanna-Dodig miss out

Twenty-year old Alexander Zverev stopped the dominant Roger Federer on his tracks, defeating the 19-time Grand Slam winner in straight sets of 6-3, 6-4 to bag his second Masters 1000 title. He secured his first title with his victorious campaign in Rome earlier this year, when he defeated Novak Djokovic. The young German was a force to be reckoned with in serves and fired in 20 winners that included six aces during the 68-minute contest.

"Winning two Masters 1000 titles in the same year is something amazing," Zverev told ATP after his win. "I played well winning Washington and here. It's something amazing, back-to-back weeks. I feel great. I feel like I'm playing some of the best tennis of my life.

In the men's doubles category, India's Rohan Bopanna and his Croatian partner Ivan Dodig went down fighting to the fifth seeds Nicolas Mahut and Pierre-Hugues Herbert in the final of the Coupe Rogers in Montreal, Canada on Sunday. 

The Indo-Croatian pair lost the first set as Dodig struggled to find his rhythm in the game. However, the seventh seeded pair clawed back in the game by scoring the second break point in the eighth game of the set after squandering the first in the seventh game. The second set win forced the match into a tiebreaker but with Dodig still finding it hard to come up with good returns, the French duo took a 4-1 lead before getting to 9-3. Although Bopanna and Dodig saved three match points they eventually bowed out when Dodig sent a forehand flying out of the court on Herbert's serve to lose 4-6, 6-3, 6-10.
