Jannik Sinner Secures His Spot in the ATP Finals Semifinals<\/h2>\n\nIn a display of dominance, Jannik Sinner, the defending champion, sealed his place in the ATP Finals semi-finals. The victory, obtained before his audience, was against Alexander Zverev with a score of 6-4 and 6-3.\n\nSinner has extended his winning streak on indoor hard courts to 28 matches, a feat that dates back to his loss against Novak Djokovic in the final of this very event two years ago.\n\nThis is Sinner’s fifth consecutive victory over Zverev, including this year’s Australian Open final and recent matches in Vienna and Paris.\n\nThe tennis player, currently in second place in the ranking, still has a chance to finish the year as number one. To achieve this, he needs to win the tournament and hope that Carlos Alcaraz does not advance in the championship.\n\nIn the Bjorn Borg group, Sinner leads with two victories, while Zverev and Felix Auger-Aliassime each have one victory. Ben Shelton has not yet achieved any victories.\n\nOn the other hand, Alcaraz has also won his first two matches and leads the Jimmy Connors group.\n\nThe top two players from each group will advance to the semifinals.\n\n\n
\"Jannik<\/figure>\n\n\nJannik Sinner extended his winning streak on indoor hard courts to 28 matches, rebounding from his loss to Novak Djokovic in the ATP Finals championship match two years ago.<\/em>\n\nSince he lost to Djokovic two years ago, Sinner hasn’t conceded a single set in this tournament. Against Zverev, the Italian tennis player consistently raised his level of play.\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 beginning of the second set. In the end, he managed to save all seven break points he faced.\n\nFurthermore, Sinner dominated 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.\n\nAuger-Aliassime secured his first victory in this year’s finals, after coming back and defeating Shelton with a score of 4-6, 7-6 (7), 7-5.\n\n\n

At the beginning, he was playing much better than me. 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 return the shots to the court.<\/p>Felix Auger-Aliassime<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nShelton dominated the first set and achieved an early break, but an unfortunate game on his part, when serving for the set, allowed Auger-Aliassime to recover the break.\n\nShelton, who was playing in the finals for the first time, showed his frustration by hitting his racket against the ground. It flew towards the spectators. Although no one was injured, 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 his serve in the final game, securing the victory on his third match point.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
