Overview
- Sinner advanced from the Bjorn Borg group with a straight-sets win over Zverev in Turin, earning a semifinal place with a match to spare.
- He fired 12 aces and saved all seven break points faced, while converting two of four chances as Zverev went 0-for-7 on break points.
- With Auger‑Aliassime’s 4-6, 7-6(7), 7-5 victory over Shelton earlier, Sinner’s progression was guaranteed by beating Zverev; Shelton is out and Sinner will face him next.
- Zverev, who said he had recovered from his Paris issue, showed visible frustration during the match, including a viral moment biting the racket handle after another Sinner ace.
- Serve dominated the day on a court Sinner says is getting faster, highlighted by a 235 km/h serve recorded in Auger‑Aliassime vs Shelton, a Finals record.
