Jannik Sinner Secures His Spot in the ATP Finals Semifinals<\/h2>\n\nThe defending champion, Jannik Sinner, secured his place in the ATP Finals semifinals with a resounding victory over Alexander Zverev. The match, played before the fervent local fans, ended with a score of 6-4 and 6-3.\n\nSinner extended his winning streak on indoor hard courts to 28 matches, a feat that dates back to his loss to Novak Djokovic in the final of this same event two years ago.\n\nThis victory represents Sinner’s fifth consecutive win over Zverev, including this year’s Australian Open final and recent matches in Vienna and Paris.\n\nThe Italian tennis player, currently number two in the world, still has a chance to finish the year at the top of the ranking. To achieve this, he needs to win the tournament and hope that Carlos Alcaraz does not advance further.\n\nSinner leads the Bjorn Borg group with two victories, while Zverev and Felix Auger-Aliassime each have one victory. Ben Shelton has not yet achieved any victories.\n\nAlcaraz has also won his first two matches and leads the Jimmy Connors group.\n\nThe top two teams from each group advance to the semifinals.\n\n\n

Jannik Sinner extendi\u00f3 su racha de victorias en canchas duras bajo techo a 28 partidos, un logro que se remonta a su derrota ante Novak Djokovic en la final del ATP Finals hace dos a\u00f1os.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\nSinner hasn’t conceded a single set in this tournament since his defeat against Djokovic two years ago. Against Zverev, the Italian consistently raised his level.\n\nSinner saved two break points in the first game of the match, both with aces. Then, he came back from 0-40 to hold his serve at the start of the second set. In the end, Sinner saved all seven break points he faced.\n\nFurthermore, Sinner led in aces with a score of 12-7.\n\n\n

I served very well on the important points. There weren’t many long rallies.<\/p>Jannik Sinner<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nZverev, who won the finals in 2018 and 2021, couldn’t handle Sinner’s game.\n\nAuger-Aliassime got his first victory in the finals this year by coming back to beat Shelton with partials of 4-6, 7-6 (7) and 7-5.\n\n\n

He was playing much better than me at the beginning. It’s not common for me to get broken twice in the first set indoors. It was a strange start, but as the match went on, I found ways to get the balls back on the court. Once we got into the rallies, I felt I could win more. You just have to fight, believe, and play the next point the right way.<\/p>Felix Auger-Aliassime<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nShelton dominated the first set and achieved an early break, but poor play on his part, when serving for the set, allowed Auger-Aliassime to recover the break.\n\nShelton, playing in the finals for the first time, showed his frustration by hitting his racket against the ground. It flew out of his hand and went towards the spectators. No one was hit, but he received a warning for a code violation.\n\nThe American recovered to break immediately and take the first set.\n\nThe second set was held with the serve and Shelton managed to save three set points in the tiebreak, but a double fault, shortly after suffering a fall, allowed Auger-Aliassime to level the score.\n\nThe Canadian never looked back and, although Shelton managed to defend two break points at the beginning of the decisive set, Auger-Aliassime broke him in the last game, sealing the victory on his third match point.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
