The win brings Rublev closer to securing a spot at the ATP Finals next month after he moved into the top 10 of the rankings for the first time Monday.
Zverev has had a breakthrough year in Grand Slam tournaments with his first semifinal at the Australian Open in January and first final at the U.S. Open last month, when he lost to Dominic Thiem
The Wimbledon was the only Grand Slam tournament which was cancelled in 2020, owing to coronavirus pandemic.
Although tennis stars Roger Federer and Serena Williams have already committed to next year's tournament, Tiley said players simply won't show up if they can't prepare properly.
Zverev was playing indoors for the first time this year after a mixed record on indoor hard courts in 2019. He has been strong in those conditions in the past with three career indoor titles, including the 2018 ATP Finals.

The 19-year-old Swiatek said Wednesday she drew a lot of support and strength from her work with sports psychologist Daria Abramowicz, who was with her during the two weeks of the Paris tournament.
In a statement on Twitter, Tsitsipas revealed that he picked up the injury during last week's semi-final clash against Novak Djokovic at the Roland Garros where the Greek lost 6-3, 6-2, 5-7, 4-6, 6-1.
Trying to come up with a consensus pick is silly — especially now, when the Big Three are still active — and, more to the point, unnecessary. Why insist on choosing one when we should appreciate, admire and elevate all of them?
Djokovic was thrashed by Nadal in the final on Sunday night, losing 6-0, 6-2, 7-5 as the Spaniard cruised to his 20th Grand Slam title.
Rafael Nadal’s 6-0, 6-2, 7-5 victory over Novak Djokovic on Sunday for a 13th championship at Roland Garros and 20th Grand Slam trophy in all — tying Roger Federer’s record for men — did not change the top of the ATP rankings.
Novak Djokovic had said that he and Rafael Nadal share "biggest head-to-head" rivalry in the history of the sport.
Nadal defeated world number one Novak Djokovic 6-0, 6-2, 7-5 at Court Philippe Chatrier to win the French Open for the 13th time, the most by any player, male or female, at a single tour-level event.
Nadal now stands alongside Federer for the most number of Grand Slam trophies since the Open Era. This the first time that the two have the same number of majors since they both started out in 5, July 2003
Rafael Nadal beat Novak Djokovic 6-0, 6-2, 7-5 to win a record-extending 13th French Open and match Roger Federer with his 20th Grand Slam title.
Swiatek also was paying attention, of course, when Bianca Andreescu won her first major at 19. And when Sofia Kenin added her name to the list of Slam champions at 21.
The Hungarian-French pairing, seeded second, beat the 14th-seeded team of Alexa Guarachi, from Chile, and American Desirae Krawczyk 6-4, 7-5.
As for next year, organizers are still planning to restore the Grand Slam clay-court tournament to its usual May-June slot but admit they have no visibility on whether the pandemic will allow that to happen.

Nadal holds the edge at Roland Garros, winning six of their seven matches including two finals. Djokovic has however won 10 of their last 13 meetings and one of which includes his comfortable victory against Nadal in French Open 2015 quarters.
Kenin, a 21-year-old who lives in Florida, went a tour-best 16-2 in Grand Slam play in 2020, with a fourth-round showing at the U.S. Open in addition to getting to the last matches at Melbourne Park and Roland Garros.
At 19, she is the youngest to win the clay-court Grand Slam since 12-time men's singles champion Rafael Nadal won his first title in 2005, also at the age of 19.
It has indeed been a story to tell for Swiatek. It was only her seventh Grand Slam appearance and she never made it past the quarters in any of those seven events. But Swiatek played without a different maturity over the last two weeks at the Stade Roland Garros
