Two wins are not enough for Alexander Zverev. Although he beat the Russian Andrei Rublev, he missed the semi-finals at the ATP Finals. The end is already certain before the game.

Alexander Zverev won his last group game at the ATP Finals but still missed the semi-finals. The Olympic tennis champion beat the Russian Andrei Rublyov 6:4, 6:4 in Turin. Because Wimbledon winner Carlos Alcaraz from Spain had previously won 6:4, 6:4 against Daniil Mevedev from Russia, who had already qualified for the semi-finals, Zverev was eliminated despite his second win.

Zverev converted his third match point in the meaningless game after 1:41 hours. After all, he still collected $390,000 (357,630 euros) for his victory. Rublev, on the other hand, remained winless in the entire tournament. For Zverev it was the first win against the Russian this year. Rublev won the other three duels in 2023.

The four best tennis players in the world are in the semi-finals. The Italian Jannik Sinner and Medvedev will meet on Saturday (2.30 p.m./Sky). Afterwards, world number one Novak Djokovic from Serbia and Alcaraz will play against each other in the top duel (9 p.m./Sky). The final takes place on Sunday (6 p.m./Sky).
