Jannik Sinner (2) def. Alexander Zverev (3) 6-4 6-3

Jannik Sinner clinched his semi-final spot on the 2025 Nitto ATP Finals with a commanding 6-4, 6-3 victory over Alexander Zverev in Turin on Wednesday evening, transferring to 2-0 within the Bjorn Borg Group.

It was an fascinating match, with Sinner proving once more that he’s only a degree forward of Zverev proper now, as he performs with extra depth and doesn’t let up when he’s on the entrance foot.

Regardless of that, I believed Sascha performed properly in components, however he simply doesn’t do sufficient of the appropriate issues on the proper time. Sinner performed clutch on most break factors, however Zverev’s tendencies simply to roll the ball in or refuse to tee off on a shot when he has the higher hand all the time show pricey.

First Set (6-4, 42 minutes): Sinner saved two break factors within the opening sport with 4 aces. He broke at 5-4 after successful a 17-ball rally on his third set level when Zverev mistimed a forehand.

Second Set (6-3, 38 minutes): Sinner confronted 0/40 in his second service sport however saved all three break factors with first-serve winners. Zverev held one other break level at 2-2 30/40, however Sinner escaped earlier than breaking decisively at 4-3 and closed out comfortably. Saved all seven break factors confronted (12 aces whole).
