At the ATP Tour Finals, Alexander Zverev put up a spirited display in his clash against Jannik Sinner, before going down 4-6, 3-6. After the match, the German reflected on his opponent's strengths, saying (as quoted by Punto de Break),

“It's evident how well he moves on the court and how he controls play from the baseline with his forehand and backhand, but his serve has significantly improved. In the seven break points I had, he hit seven first serves, and I could only return on one occasion; it turned into a winning shot for him. Nevertheless, I trust to face him again this week.”

Zverev went on to add that he felt like the score didn't reflect the intensity of the duo's battle, saying

"I think it was a great baseline battle; it felt like a high-level match, and I don't feel the score reflects what happened. It could have been a much more balanced match, but he had two chances to break me and took advantage of both, while I couldn't do it with the seven I had. That's what being the world number 1 is about.”

Up next, Alexander Zverev will face Felix Auger-Aliassime on Saturday, November 15 at the ATP Finals. Both the tennis stars have beaten Ben Shelton and lost to Jannik Sinner in Turin, and their upcoming battle will decide who moves forward into the semifinals.
