ATP Finals: Zverev Downs Alcaraz To Secure Semis Clash With Fritz
John Newcombe Group: Alexander Zverev of Germany defeated Carlos Alcaraz of Spain in straight sets to top the John Newcombe Group to set up a semifinal clash with Taylor Fritz of the United States in the ATP Finals here on Friday. Zverev defeated Alcaraz 7-6(5), 6-4 in a one-hour, 57-minute encounter. Alexander Zverev's victory continued the German star's late-season surge but left Alcaraz with a nervous wait as his progress will depend on the result of the evening match.
The German on Friday extended his winning streak to eight matches by sinking Carlos Alcaraz in straight sets. Zverev, who was facing Alcaraz for the first time since his heartbreaking five-set defeat in the Roland Garros championship match, produced an impressive performance to outclass his rival and guarantee he will end the year as No. 2 in the PIF ATP Rankings.
“He beat me too many times this year in important matches, so I’m happy that I got this one,” reflected Zverev after his triumph. “Obviously I feel like we have a pretty good rivalry with a great friendship as well, so it’s always nice to play against him… Just sharing the court with him. He’s a great guy and I’m looking forward to the next matches with him as well.”
