Hamburg, Germany - AP

Alexander Zverev produced a high-class final display Sunday in the city of his birth to defeat Laslo Djere and win the Hamburg European Open for the first time.

The German, who was playing in his first tournament since suffering an ankle injury at the French Open, was in dominant form throughout the match, breaking his opponent's serve six times and winning 6-4, 6-2.

Zverev's victory is his first since winning the Madrid Open in May and is a timely boost ahead of the US Open, which begins later this month.
