The 20-year-old German used his booming serve to overpower Federer 6-3, 6-4 Sunday Aug 13,2017 as the Swiss superstar never got a chance to get into the match.
"I tried to be aggressive as I can," said Zverev. "If Roger starts being aggressive with his forehand and backhand then it is not going to be an easy day for me."

He is now tied with Federer for the most titles this season at five.
"It`s a wonderful achievement for him," Federer said of Zverev. "I wish him the best for the coming months and hope he can finish the season very strong.
"I`m just really happy for him, to see that he`s taking everything not just to the next level, but the two next levels."
Zverev blasted six aces and won 80 percent of first serve points as he needed just 68 minutes to dominate the 19-time Grand Slam winner and reigning Wimbledon and Australian Open champion
