Having missed more than half of the 2022 season following his horrific ankle injury in the 2022 Roland Garros semi-finals, Zverev will be well satisfied with what he achieved during the season, which began with just three wins from his first nine matches.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The German finished the Red Group with a 2-1 record but missed the knockout stages of the season finale because group rivals Carlos Alcaraz and Daniil Medvedev had superior sets-won records.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI have to look back on the week in a positive way. I beat Alcaraz and I beat Rublev,\" said Zverev, who won 64 per cent of points on Rublev's second serve.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cAfter the injury that I had, to be back here with the top eight players in the world, winning two matches, gives me great hope. I\u2019m as motivated as I\u2019ve very been for next year.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The two-time Nitto ATP Finals champion opened the tournament with a three-set win over Alcaraz, but his straight-sets loss to Medvedev in his second match proved costly.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
It was a disappointing return to the Pala Alpitour for Rublev, who failed to win a match after last year reaching the semi-finals. But the red head can still be proud of his season. He will finish inside the Top 5 with a 56-25 record on the year and two titles from six finals, including his maiden ATP Masters 1000 crown in Monte-Carlo.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2023\/11\/nitto-atp-finals-zverev-claims-55th-match-win-of-year-misses-turin-semis.jpg", "alt_img": "Nitto ATP Finals: Zverev claims 55th match win of year, misses Turin semis", "alt_title": "Nitto ATP Finals: Zverev claims 55th match win of year, misses Turin semis", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Nitto ATP Finals: Zverev Claims 55th Match Win Of Year, Misses Turin Semis On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Nitto ATP Finals: Zverev Claims 55th Match Win Of Year, Misses Turin Semis, Nitto ATP Finals: Alexander Zverev ended his impressive 2023 comeback season in victory despite missing the semi-finals of the Nitto.", "seo_keywords": "Photo Credit, Alexander Zverev, Nitto ATP Finals, Andrey Rublev, World No, Roland Garros, The German, Red Group, Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev, Pala Alpitour, ATP Masters", "tag": "", "tagging": "Photo Credit, Alexander Zverev, Nitto ATP Finals, Andrey Rublev, World No, Roland Garros, The German, Red Group, Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev, Pala Alpitour, ATP Masters", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "nitto-atp-finals-zverev-claims-55th-match-win-of-year-misses-turin-semis", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "1324", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "0", "created": "2023-11-18 10:34:03", "updated": "2023-11-18 10:34:03", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Photo Credit, Alexander Zverev, Nitto ATP Finals, Andrey Rublev, World No, Roland Garros, The German, Red Group, Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev, Pala Alpitour, ATP Masters", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2023-11-18 10:34:03", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "0", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "sports_name": "tennis", "cnmid": "824602", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/sports-news\/nitto-atp-finals-zverev-claims-55th-match-win-of-year-misses-turin-semis-10438" }
