There are now five consecutive matches in which Jannik Sinner has defeated Alexander Zverev, but that does not seem to discourage the German. His reflections at the press conference after losing to the Italian in the ATP Finals 2025 show a great ambition on the part of the German, who did not feel inferior to his opponent despite what the scoreboard indicates.

There are matches in which losing is not as painful as in others, and tournaments that offer the possibility of immediate revenge. This is how Alexander Zverev perceives what could happen in these ATP Finals 2025, where he keeps alive his chances of qualifying despite falling to Jannik Sinner by winning only seven games. The German has renewed energies, and his confidence surge in recent weeks will not be affected by this match.

Zverev believes the only key explaining his defeat is Sinner's serve on the break points he faced

"I think it was a great baseline battle; it felt like a high-level match, and I don't feel the score reflects what happened. It could have been a much more balanced match, but he had two chances to break me and took advantage of both, while I couldn't do it with the seven I had. That's what being the world number 1 is about," said Sascha, who has been experiencing clear improvement in recent weeks.

When asked about Sinner's lethal weapon, the German was straightforward. "It's evident how well he moves on the court and how he controls play from the baseline with his forehand and backhand, but his serve has significantly improved. In the seven break points I had, he hit seven first serves, and I could only return on one occasion; it turned into a winning shot for him. Nevertheless, I trust to face him again this week," said Zverev.

That chance depends on him beating Auger-Aliassime on Friday and being able to reach the final of the ATP Finals 2025, in which he arrived with confidence and ambition. "I've been through a real nightmare with injuries this season; there was no way to compete without discomfort, but now I feel much better," commented Alexander Zverev, who is thinking positively, already looking at what that decisive match against the Canadian on Friday in Turin may bring.
