Zverev vs. Auger-Aliassime to Decide Final ATP Finals Semifinal Spot
With identical round-robin results, the pair face a straight shootout for the group’s second semifinal berth.
Overview
- Both players are 1-1 in Turin after beating Ben Shelton and losing to Jannik Sinner, leaving the winner to advance and the loser to exit.
- Jannik Sinner has already secured top spot in the group, while Shelton is out, with their Friday match moved to the daytime slot for points and prize money.
- Tournament organizers list Zverev–Auger-Aliassime for Friday night in Turin, with the victor set to meet the winner of Group Jimmy Connors in the semifinals.
- Félix Auger-Aliassime’s push into Turin was fueled by a US Open win over Zverev and strong indoor results capped by a Brussels title and Paris runner-up finish, as Alexander Zverev targets a third ATP Finals crown.
- Previews diverge on both the pair’s head-to-head tally and the outcome, and one outlet notes Auger-Aliassime showed an apparent calf issue against Sinner that was not evident versus Shelton.
