Alexander Zverev received his World No. 1 trophy on Monday afternoon at the Rolex Paris Masters.
On Monday, the 29-year-old became the 30th man to rise to No. 1 in the PIF ATP Rankings and only the second German player to achieve the feat.
Zverev's milestone was celebrated on Court Central at the French ATP Masters 1000 event. With ATP Chairman Andrea Gaudenzi and tournament director Cedric Pioline present on court, Zverev lifted the No. 1 trophy.
"It's incredibly special to celebrate it here in Paris, where a couple of months ago I won my first Grand Slam title," Zverev said. "I always loved this city… To receive this trophy in Paris is extremely special to me."
Zverev was joined by the members of his team, including his father Alexander Zverev Sr.and brother Mischa Zverev, as he celebrated the moment. The 29-year-old thanked them for their support.
"It's a team effort," Zverev said of the achievement. "We’ve been together for many, many years now. I don’t really change my team. My team has been the same for more than 10 years. Achieving this is a complete team effort. We all work unbelievably hard, and a big thanks to everyone who is standing there."
