Alexander Zverev smiled back on the court, facing a Ben Shelton who seemed lost and almost devoid of ideas due to the German's strong performance. 'Sascha' won in 1 hour and 20 minutes of play, positioning himself with a very favorable outcome to reach the ATP Finals semifinals.

The moment of Alexander Zverev didn't seem optimistic for his victory, or at least not for such a comfortable one in the first match of the ATP Finals 2025. The German showed strength after the bad experience at the Rolex ATP Paris Masters 2025, where he was overwhelmed by a superb Jannik Sinner and the issues he faced with his ankle.

Zverev, solid and in control

After the match against Sinner in Paris, the German mentioned he would undergo a medical check-up with his specialist due to ankle discomfort, likely playing infiltrated in the ATP Finals. It's hard to believe Zverev had any physical issues today, so we'll have to hear his statements to find out what happened with his ankle.

The first set was marked by Shelton's errors. The American managed to hold three service games comfortably, but every time 'Sascha' had a slight opportunity, the American fell into a spiral of nerves resulting in balls going far out of bounds. Zverev capitalized and was untouchable on serve, a trend that continued in the second set.

Shelton, uneasy

At no point did we see the American who impressed everyone during some moments of the year. Shelton appeared uneasy and highly anxious to quickly get through his service games. He encouraged himself frequently, but once Zverev's serve bombs came, he could hardly score.

Shelton gradually reached the tiebreak, and just when he had the edge, he made an error on a return that sealed his fate. The ball hit the net, wasting two set points. The German took advantage of the American being completely overwhelmed by the circumstances and ultimately forced yet another error from his opponent in a multi-shot point.

Shelton tried to hang in there, but this seems to be a stage that still eludes him.

Alexander Zverev's upcoming matches will be against Lorenzo Musetti, where he will try to secure his spot in the ATP Finals semifinals, and against Jannik Sinner, a top favorite. He will need to give his all against Musetti to increase his chances of advancing.

On the other hand, Ben Shelton will aim to score points and hope for a Zverev meltdown, as he is currently his closest rival in the group. He will also face Musetti and Sinner.
