It’s just that the size is too big!
Alexander Zverev (28) could no longer win against Jannik Sinner (24). Both of them ATP Finals in Turin There was a fifth defeat in a row against the South Tyrolean team, 4:6, 3:6, including the third in three weeks after the final in Vienna and the semifinals in Paris.

This means that the Hamburg player will face the final on Friday to reach the semifinals of the World Cup when he faces Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime (25) in the final group stage match Björn Borg. She surprisingly lost to him in the third round of the US Open.
Before the match, Zverev appeared relaxed during practice, laughing and clearly having fun. Towards the end of the training session, Sinner came to the VIP area above the training pitch, but sat with his back to the pitch and had another drink. Laila Hasanovic’s (25) boyfriend is still missing.
The Danish model is only in the match in his box, as is Sophia Thomalla (36) as Zverev’s girlfriend on the other side. The two saw a fine class game with a crowd of 12,000 at the Pala Alpitour, where both players initially played through their service games. When it came down to it, Zverev showed his unease.
When the score was 4:5 he lost his serve – the decision in the first set. With the exception of Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz (22), Sinner is currently ahead of the rest of the tennis world by being fully present at the right time. Zverev, on the other hand, missed a total of seven break points – a stark difference in quality.

The 2021 Olympic champion has a big chance of turning things around at the start of the second half. He earned three of seven consecutive break points on Sinner’s serve. He forgives him.
He kept looking at the box questioningly, sometimes confused. Additionally, the LED strip on the front side had lost contact since Sinner’s impact hit it. This of course disrupts the game. It is also an unnecessary secondary theater of war.
Jannik Sinner is currently undefeated on indoor hard courts. This was his 28th win in a row
So Zverev ended up losing his connection to the game and his serve making it 2:4. He won’t recover from that. Sinner, who played four Grand Slam finals this year, of which he won two of them, was in the semifinals after 1:36 on the clock.
Zverev needs a win on Friday against Auger-Aliassime.
