Zverev Looks for 1St Atp Masters 1000 Title, Djokovic 31St INTERNAZIONALI BNL D’ITALIA: DAY 8 MEDIA NOTES Sunday, May 21, 2017 Foro Italico | Rome, Italy | May 14-21, 2017 Draw: S-56, D-24 | Prize Money: €4,273,775 | Surface: Clay ATP World Tour Info Tournament Info ATP PR & Marketing ATPWorldTour.com InternazionaliBNLdItalia.com Edward La Cava: [email protected] Twitter: @ATPWorldTour @InteBNLdItalia Press Room: +39 0698 3723 46 Facebook: @ATPWorldTour @InternazionaliBNLdItalia ZVEREV LOOKS FOR 1ST ATP MASTERS 1000 TITLE, DJOKOVIC 31ST • No. 16 seed Alexander Zverev and No. 2 Novak Djokovic meet for the first time in Sunday’s Internazionali BNL d’Italia championship. The 20-year-old Zverev, who leads the Emirates ATP Race to Milan for the inaugural Next Gen ATP Finals, is appearing in his first ATP Masters 1000 championship. Djokovic, who celebrates his 30th birthday on Monday, is attempting to capture his fifth title in Rome and record 31st ATP Masters 1000 title. • This is the 13th consecutive year (since 2005) Djokovic and/or Nadal have reached the Rome final. Djokovic is appearing in his eighth title match (4-3), the first without having lost a set. He and Nadal have combined to win 11 of the past 12 titles. Nadal has won a record seven titles. • Zverev is the youngest (20) Rome finalist since 2006 when Nadal (19) won the title. He is also the youngest ATP Masters 1000 finalist since Djokovic (19), who won 2007 Miami. Zverev is the first German to reach an ATP Masters 1000 final since Nicolas Kiefer in 2008 Toronto (l. to Nadal) and the first German to reach the Rome final since Tommy Haas in 2002 (l. to Agassi). Haas is the last German to win an ATP Masters 1000 title at 2001 Stuttgart-indoor. If Zverev captures his fourth career ATP World Tour title, the third in 2017, he will become the first player born in the 1990s to earn an ATP Masters 1000 title. He will also move from No. 17 to No. 10 in the Emirates ATP Rankings. If Zverev loses, he will rank a career-high No. 14. • Djokovic is appearing in his fourth straight Rome championship. He won titles in 2008, 2011, 2014- 15 and was runner-up in 2009, 2012 and 2016. Djokovic is tied with Nadal for the most ATP Masters 1000 titles and is 30-12 in finals. He is 67-29 overall in finals and his last final/title came in Doha in the opening week of 2017 (d. Murray). He is trying to win a Masters 1000 title for the seventh straight year and 10th time in 11 years (except 2010). He has won at least one clay Masters 1000 title the past four years. A member of the Big Four has won 24 of the last 25 ATP Masters 1000 titles since 2015 Cincinnati with the only exception Marin Cilic last year in Cincinnati.
