At the ATP Finals
Zverev against Rublev from 20:30 LIVE
Alexander Zverev didn't stand a chance against Andrey Rublev at the ATP Finals in Turin on Monday. The German beat the Russian in two sets (6:4, 6:4) after just over an hour of play.
A break in the seventh game was enough for the favored Zverev in the first set. In the second round, the world number two used his break chance against Rublev in the ninth game to make it 5:4 and then served out without any problems.
Special honor for Sinner
"It was a solid match to start the tournament," said Zverev, who served very strongly and underlined his credentials to win the tournament. The 27-year-old had won the Masters 1000 title in Paris-Bercy a week ago.
On Monday, tennis icon Boris Becker honored Italy's star Jannik Sinner for his debut as world number one at the end of the year. The 23-year-old Italian replaced the Serbian record Grand Slam winner Novak Djokovic in June and took over the top spot in the world rankings. In an outstanding season, the South Tyrolean won the Australian Open and the US Open. Sinner started the finals on Sunday with a two-set victory against Australian Alex de Minaur. On Tuesday, the local hero will face the American Taylor Fritz.
