TENNIS

ITALIAN OPEN: Alexander Zverev signaled his anticipated arrival among the tennis elite by defeating Novak Djokovic 6-4, 6-3 Sunday to win the title at Rome.

The 20-year-old Zverev became the youngest player to win a Masters 1000 event since Djokovic won in Miami a decade ago at 19.

Zverev broke in the very first game and was never really challenged by Djokovic, who appeared drained after having to win two matches Saturday to reach the final.

After the match, Djokovic announced that Andre Agassi will coach him at the French Open starting next week.

• Earlier, Elina Svitolina surged to No. 1 in the season-long rankings race by beating Simona Halep 4-6, 7-5, 6-1 in the women’s final.

It was a WTA tour-best fourth title this year for the 22-year-old Ukranian and the most prestigious trophy of her career. She also leads with 31 match wins this season.

WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP: Sweden won the title with a 2-1 victory on penalties over two-time defending champion Canada on Sunday at Cologne, Germany.

Sweden goaltender Henrik Lundqvist stopped all four penalties as Nicklas Backstrom and Oliver Ekman-Larsson scored shootout goals for the Swedes to give them their first title since 2013.

• Nikita Kucherov’s goal sealed a 5-3 win for Russia in the bronze medal match after Finland nearly rallied from a 4-0 deficit.
