ST. PETERSBURG, Russia -- Promising German 19-year-old Alexander Zverev won his first tour title Sunday, beating US Open champion Stan Wawrinka in a tight battle in the St. Petersburg Open final.Zverev took the first set before Wawrinka responded to draw level. The German was a break down in the decider but fought back to win 6-2, 3-6, 7-5.Zverev becomes the first man to beat Wawrinka in a tour final since 2013, snapping an 11-match win streak in finals for the Swiss star, who had been trying to win back-to-back titles in his first tournament since the US Open. The loss also ends a 10-match unbeaten run for Wawrinka.Earlier, Britains Dominic Inglot and Finlands Henri Kontinen won the doubles title. http://www.nflcardinalsrookiestore.com/Cardinals-Josh-Mauro-Jersey/ . LOUIS -- Mike Smith is used to facing plenty of shots, so this was nothing new. http://www.nflcardinalsrookiestore.com/Cardinals-Justin-Bethel-Jersey/ . They had already blown a double-digit lead, fans were hitting the exits, and a long seven-game road trip waited at the end. http://www.nflcardinalsrookiestore.com/Cardinals-Josh-Bynes-Jersey/ . -- Three close looks at the bucket, three misses. http://www.nflcardinalsrookiestore.com/Cardinals-Troy-Niklas-Jersey/ . 9.

Ronnie OSullivan says snooker is like a car boot sale when compared to the glitz and glamour of other sports.The five-time world champion believes snooker has been cheapened and must embrace the more corporate image of Formula One and tennis.OSullivan, who reached the last 16 of the UK Championship with a 6-1 thrashing of Michael Georgiou, added: Snooker is becoming a nothing-type sport -- its kind of like a car boot sale but with the other sports its like shopping at Harrods.Theyre putting so much of it out there. Its cheap TV. I think snooker has lost that respect amongst other sports out there -- the Olympics is such a massive thing now as are sports like golf and tennis.You look at Formula One and see beautiful-looking people and you look at snooker and think, God -- you look at some of the qualifiers and it costs a fiver to get into Barnsley.OSullivan said the solution lies in the Asian market, where snooker is very popular.Maybe if it went to China and you found some billionaires out there who would put the sport on and have million pound prize money you could start looking at snooker as a core sport again, he added.Its all about media and money and business and snooker is nothing compared to Formula One and tennis and the Olympics. Theyve got corporate people involved and they have a massive say in who is big and who is not big.World Snooker chairman Barry Hearn responded by saying OSullivan should know better.Hearn rebuked the 40-year-old and told him to focus on entertaining crowds, rather than aiming barbs that could offend snookers valuable stakeholders.Hearn said: We mustnt be disrespectful to those people who are involved, sponsors and television companies, and the paying fans, to say this is a car boot sale of sport.I deal with lots and lots of different sports because there are lots of different sports whod cut their arm off to be in the position snooker is in.When asked about OSullivvan comparing the sport to Formula One, Hearn told BBC Sport: As a famous man once said, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.ddddddddddddI like normal people, I like working-class people who want to get value for money and want to be entertained by sportsmen who know their job is to entertain.Ronnies an entertainer and he should know better than that.Veteran promoter Hearn accepts snooker cannot compete with sports such as tennis, golf and Formula One when it comes to financial rewards, but pointed to the trebling of prize-money available on tour under his chairmanship as proof of its growth.He said it was a total nonsense to suggest snooker had lost respect, and pointed to an awful lot of ticks in the sports favour.It doesnt mean weve finished the journey, Hearn added. But we need people to be a bit more positive and a bit more helpful to make sure we achieve that journey.Because if you talk yourself down in this world youll never get respect in the first place.Elsewhere at the UK Championships in York, world champion Mark Selby joined OSullivan in the last 16 with 6-1 victory over Robert Milkins, while 46-year-old Peter Lines -- whose son Oliver also plays in the last 32 on Tuesday -- was beaten 6-2 by Liam Highfield. John Higgins stayed on course for a third title in quick succession with a comprehensive 6-2 win over Ben Woollaston.David Gilbert edged a final frame thriller to beat former semifinalist Ali Carter 6-5, and Belgiums Luca Brecel wasted no time sweeping aside Yu De Lu 6-1. There was also an impressive victory for Chinas Zhou Yuelong, 18, who overcame his 16-year-old compatriot Yan Bingtao 6-5 having fallen 5-3 behind. Hong Kongs Marco Fu had earlier overcome Mei Xiwen, of China, 6-4 after building a promising 3-0 lead.PA Sport contributed to this article.
