ATP Finals hit
ATP Finals: Zverev against Alcaraz from 2 p.m. LIVE
Olympic champion Alexander Zverev has reached the semi-finals of the ATP Finals for the fourth time. The tennis world number two beat Spain's Carlos Alcaraz 7:6(5) and 6:4 in a high-class final group match in Turin to finish his group in first place without defeat.
The 27-year-old German will now face the American US Open finalist Taylor Fritz in the semi-finals on Saturday.
In front of 13,000 spectators in the sold-out Pala Alpitour, Zverev was on hand at the important moments, remained aggressive and decided the thrilling duel with the Wimbledon and French Open champion in his favor after 1:57 hours. One set win was enough for Zverev to reach the semi-finals of the ATP Finals for the fourth time after 2018, 2019 and 2021.
An unpleasant task awaits Zverev
Zverev thus avoids the Italian top seed Jannik Sinner in the preliminary round. But an unpleasant task still awaits him. The statistics of the past few months speak against him with three consecutive defeats against Fritz.
The ATP Finals are endowed with 15.25 million dollars and are one of the most important tennis events after the Grand Slam tournaments. Whether Alcaraz reaches the semi-finals or is eliminated will only be decided in the evening match between the Norwegian Casper Ruud and Andrei Rublev from Russia.
