Overview
- Jannik Sinner beat Alexander Zverev 6-4, 6-3 at the Inalpi Arena in about 1 hour 36 minutes to secure a straight-sets win.
- Sinner fired 12 aces, saved all seven break points he faced, and converted two of four chances—one break per set—while Zverev went 0-for-7 on break opportunities.
- The victory guarantees Sinner first place in the Bjorn Borg group and a semifinal spot; he will still meet Ben Shelton in the final round-robin match with progression already assured.
- The result extends Sinner’s 2025 dominance over Zverev after wins at the Australian Open, Vienna and Paris, adding to his edge in their head-to-head.
- Zverev showed visible frustration during key moments, including a much-noted racket-handle gesture, as Sinner stayed composed and credited his serve on important points.
