The final is scheduled for Sunday.\n\nBoth Zverev, the third seed, and Auger-Aliassime knew that the winner would advance to the semifinals.\n\nAuger-Aliassime showed greater control of nerves than Zverev, especially in the second set, despite squandering three set points in the first.\n\nZverev failed to convert any of his four break opportunities and incurred 18 of his 27 unforced errors in the second set, showing frustration towards his team.\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a3.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F1114%2Fr1575676_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"Auger-Aliassime celebrando su victoria\" title=\"\"><figcaption>Auger-Aliassime celebra su victoria en sets corridos sobre Alexander Zverev en las ATP Finals en Tur\u00edn, Italia.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\nZverev&#8217;s error, sending an easy return to the net, gave Auger-Aliassime two match points.

Sinner has not lost a set, nor a service game, all week. The Italian also did not concede a set in his five matches last year, en route to the title.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TURIN, Italy \u2013 Felix Auger-Aliassime defeated two-time champion Alexander Zverev and secured his place in the ATP Finals semifinals on Friday.
