Auger-Aliassime Eliminates Zverev at ATP Finals to Book Alcaraz Semifinal

The German exited in straight sets in the round-robin decider, ending a turbulent year with only the Munich title.

Overview

  • The Canadian prevailed 6-4, 7-6 (7-4) in 2:07 to secure the last semifinal spot in Turin.
  • He will face world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz on Saturday, not before 20:30 CET on Sky.
  • Zverev, who had lost to Jannik Sinner on Wednesday, needed a victory to advance and fell short of a fifth Finals semifinal.
