With the authority that only great legends can display, Jannik Sinner defeated Alexander Zverev in their ATP Finals 2025 clash with a score of 6-4 6-3, securing his spot in the semifinals and keeping pace to finish the year as World No. 1 alongside Alcaraz.

Competing in a tournament that gathers the top eight players in the world and conveying the powerful feeling that you can only be beaten by one of them is something few tennis players have done with the strength that Jannik Sinner demonstrates in this ATP Finals 2025. The Italian faced a tough challenge against Alexander Zverev, who made him display exceptional tennis skills, but there was always a sense that Sinner had an extra gear and that the mountain was too high for the German to climb.

Right from the start of the first set, it became evident that the Italian was not going to ease up even slightly, fully aware of the significance of this match in taking a giant step towards the semifinals. He set a very high pace with his serve, took control confidently, and punished his opponent's forehand with his own powerful shots, leaving Zverev struggling against the depth and power of the Italian's game.

Zverev wasted the 7 break points he had against Sinner

Sascha had two break opportunities, but in the tenth game, Jannik stepped up and found the desired break as naturally as a superior player decides that the joking stops there. Almost as painful for his opponents as Sinner's unassailable tennis is the insulting superiority he displays with his game, raising his level whenever necessary and getting out of tight spots he sometimes creates himself.

That was the story in the second set where Zverev took risks with his backhand, finding a gold mine in his crosscourt shots with that stroke, which remains the most natural and steady in the German's arsenal. He moved his feet well, improved his first-serve percentage, and believed in victory. However, Jannik worked his magic every time he felt threatened, brilliantly saving four break points in the first half of the set.

Sinner concluded the match against Zverev with 27 winners and 14 unforced errors

He gained a significant morale boost from that scenario, and in the sixth game of the set, he upped the ante with his return and forced Zverev to work for each point. Doubts with his forehand resurfaced, and he took that usual step back when he felt uncertain. Doing that against the current version of Sinner is akin to committing hara-kiri, as evidenced by Jannik seizing the chance to pull ahead on the scoreboard.

There is nothing to reproach Alexander Zverev for, as he tried everything until the end but repeatedly ran into an impregnable wall. Jannik Sinner has reached such a level of confidence that, even without playing at his absolute best or facing disadvantageous situations, he appears unassailable to his opponents. With his second victory in the ATP Finals 2025, a clear path to the semifinals is paved, keeping the dream alive for the world's top spot.
