Jannik Sinner beat two-time winner Alexander Zverev in the ATP Finals to advance to the last-four tournament.
According to Reuters, the defending champion on Wednesday, November 12, claimed a 6-4 6-3 win over Zverev at the Nitto ATP Finals to continue his title defense.
After the new win on homeland, the four-time Grand Slam champion extended his hardcourt winning streak to 28 matches.
After winning the match, the world No. 2 said, “A very, very competitive match, a very close match. I felt like I was serving very well in important moments. I tried to play the best tennis possible when it mattered, which fortunately went my way."
Meanwhile, in another match of the day, Canada's Auger-Aliassime ended Ben Shelton’s bid for the ATP Finals title after a 4-6 7-6(7) 7-5 win over the American, who previously lost to Zverev in the tournament.
After the match the 25-year-old said, “He was playing much better than me at the start. It’s not often that I get broken twice in the first set indoors… It was a weird start, but as the match went on I was finding ways to put returns in the court. Once we engaged in the rallies, I felt like I could win more. You just have to fight, believe, and play the next point the right way.”
Auger-Aliassime will now face third seed Alexander Zverev in his final round-robin match on Friday, November 14.
