Sinner Secures ATP Finals Semi-Final Spot with Zverev Defeat
14 Nov
Summary
- Jannik Sinner defeats Alexander Zverev at ATP Finals
- Zverev had more break points but failed to convert them
- Sinner's serving was crucial in securing the victory
On November 9th, 2022, Italy's Jannik Sinner defeated Germany's Alexander Zverev 6-4 6-3 at the ATP Finals in Turin. While Zverev had the majority of break point opportunities, he was unable to capitalize on them, unlike his opponent Sinner.
Sinner managed to break Zverev's serve once in each set, which was enough to claim the victory and secure his place in the semi-finals. In contrast, Zverev had seven break point chances across four games but failed to convert any of them.
Zverev acknowledged that Sinner's serving was the key difference, with the Italian hitting 12 aces, many of which came at crucial moments. Zverev felt that the scoreline did not accurately reflect his overall performance, as he believed he played better from the baseline compared to their previous encounter 11 days ago.
Despite the defeat, Zverev remains hopeful of meeting Sinner again in the tournament, as a win over Felix Auger-Aliassime on Friday would see him advance to the semi-finals from the Bjorn Borg Group.
