Accused domestic abuser Alexander Zverev choked away yet another title, losing nine of the last 10 games after being up a set and 4-3 against Daniil Medvedev in the Paris final, losing 5-7, 6-4, 6-1. It was the Russian first title of the year. "It's great, I'm really happy," Medevedv said. "As I alway say I don't celebrate after the match, but I'm really happy to win matches.
