Alexander Zverev has become the first German to win the men's singles Olympic gold medal as he beat Karen Khachanov in straight sets at Tokyo 2020.
The fourth seed played some stunning tennis to beat his opponent from the Russian Olympic Committee 6-1 6-3.
Zverev applied pressure from the start and rarely allowed Khachanov to settle, winning in just an hour and 19 minutes.
The 24-year-old had beaten world number one Novak Djokovic to reach the final.
Zverev is yet to win a Grand Slam, but he can now add Olympic gold to his list of 2021 achievements, which include the Mexican Open title and the ATP Masters 1000 crown.
