Jannik Sinner remains the undisputed protagonist of an ATP Finals where he feels right at home. Two years undefeated on indoor hard courts, a statistic that reflects the dominance of the San Candido native on this surface: this dominance was not broken by a brave Alexander Zverev, who, however, could do little in the crucial points of the match. The serve saved the number two in the world, who has already secured his spot in the semifinals... and as the group leader.

It is worth stopping to recognize an impressive streak. Jannik Sinner is the best in the world on indoor hard courts: no one finds the balance in their shots like him, and his improved service performance adds even more shine to an almost perfect tennis. Even after a somewhat erratic start in his match against Alexander Zverev in these ATP Finals 2025, he was able to dispatch his opponent in a confident manner, as if nothing was happening, continuing a relationship that is becoming increasingly hard to explain. Perhaps nobody can explain why he plays so well in these conditions better than Jannik himself, who shared some interesting words on various topics in his post-match press conference.

- Sinner analyzed his victory over Zverev, talked about why he plays so well on indoor hard courts, and emphasized that today's match was decided by a couple of points.

- Analysis of a comfortable victory over Zverev, although the German pointed out that, for him, the match was closer than the score reflects. What does Jannik think?

"Yes, it was a very, very close match. He had break opportunities in the first and second sets, but I served very well on all of them. I feel that there were a few tactical changes. I was ready on certain occasions, so I'm very pleased with how I dealt with the situation. Yes, it was a pretty tight match. I'm satisfied with how I handled the important moments, serving really well. Fortunately, I was able to break him on a couple of occasions; it was a great performance from both sides."

- His relationship with indoor hard courts, where he hasn't lost for the past two years.

"I didn't play much on this surface when I was young, but I feel it fits my tennis style marvelously. I find it easier to get into a rhythm in training sessions. When someone hits with power, it's very difficult to change the pace of the ball. Playing indoors, this aspect helps me a lot. It's true that I try to change that pace because it's important and essential, but here you don't have wind, you don't have the sun; you always have the same court sensations. At least for me, it helps me stay much more comfortable throughout a match."

- Reflecting on how he approaches matches against an opponent like Zverev, whom he has dominated in recent times, or against Miñaur, with whom he has a 12-0 record.

"You always have to be ready: I changed things when I lost several matches in a row to other players. I stepped onto the court trying to do things differently, and at some point you realize what works. I always try to be prepared for that situation, for when my opponents do it. Today, I think Sascha made a couple of adjustments. I was ready to handle them, but if I hadn't served the way I did, especially in the crucial moments, who knows what could have happened.

If you watch today's match, I won the first set thanks to one or two points. The same goes for the second set; I won it by a couple of points. If those points had gone the other way, maybe we would be talking about the same score but with a different winner. You never know. I felt that today Sascha was playing very well from the baseline. At the same time, I tried to be tactically perfect. I made some mistakes, but I think we prepared for the match the right way. Even in matches that end 6-2, everything can be decided by a couple of points."

- Satisfaction with his returns, memories of victories and losses, and the excitement of returning to the semifinals in Turin.

"I'm also very happy with my returning, especially in this group, with players like Sascha and Ben, who serve incredibly well. It's never easy, but I'm very pleased with how things went today. When you win a lot, people ask you if you remember victories more or losses. Honestly, I remember both. You learn more from defeats: they make you more cautious, more aware of what you need to improve... but of course, I also remember the nice moments, the joy of playing good tennis. It's about finding the perfect balance. I'm very happy but also very excited to return to the semifinals here in Turin".
