Jannik Sinner concedes an encore, beats Alexander Zverev and secures a place in the semifinals at the ATP Finals underway at the Inalpi Arena in Turin with the certainty of finishing the Borg group in the lead. The world number 2, after the success on his debut against Felix Auger-Aliassime, confirms himself as the German’s bête noire (fifth success in a row in head-to-head matches, the fourth of the season after the finals in Melbourne and Vienna and the semi-final of the Masters 1000 in Paris): 6-4 6-3 after an hour and 37 minutes of play. The 24-year-old from South Tyrol will return to the field on Friday for the last match of the group stage, against Ben Shelton: the American, who was defeated today by Felix Auger-Aliassime, is effectively eliminated (the Canadian will compete with Zverev for the other place in the semi-final) but Sinner cannot afford missteps given that he is playing at a distance with Alcaraz, the number 1 in the rankings.
