The German admits to having lowered the level in his recent performances, leaving in the air a second place in the ranking that seemed well assured.
Alexander Zverev
Lorenzo Musetti is very serious. The Italian not only competes on natural surfaces: it seems that his progression is also solidifying on hard courts, achieving today what could be the most important victory of his indoor career. Lolo fought tooth and nail against Alexander Zverev, taking the German out of his comfort zone with parallel shots and showing an imposing mental strength (2-6, 7-6(5), 6-4) to reach the semifinals of the ATP Vienna 2024. There, he will face another young player with tremendous progress this season, Jack Draper, who overcame the tough challenge of Tomas Machac in another match that was decided in the third set (6-3, 3-6, 6-1).

About ten years ago, Dominic Thiem and Alexander Zverev appeared on the tennis scene to begin prodigious careers. With a four-year gap between them, this did not prevent them from becoming best friends within the locker room, sharing countless moments together throughout the tournaments. They even faced each other up to 12 times, the most famous being in the final of the 2020 US Open. Yesterday, with the definitive retirement of the Austrian, one of the most beautiful messages we could read was from the German, who posted this text on social media expressing his admiration and affection for him.

Spanish and Italian will battle to reach Turin as the world number 2, something that would guarantee them not to face Sinner in the group stage.
We analyze the most relevant aspects of the last Masters 1000 of the season, which is full of incentives and mysteries to uncover.
Only four main draw matches have been witnessed this Monday in the ATP 500 in Vienna 2024, although none as decisive as Alexander Zverev's victory over the young local player Joel Schwaerzler (6-2, 6-2). The German did not fail, with his clear aim to end the week holding the title. Besides the top seed, the other players who also delivered on their debuts were Flavio Cobolli, Matteo Berrettini, and Jakub Mensik, the latter winning a clash against Alexei Popyrin (7-6, 6-2) that we are sure to see repeated many times in the future.

We analyze the potential matchups among the top contenders for the title at the 2024 ATP Rolex Paris Masters, based on their positions in the ATP ranking.
Only a few hours separate Dominic Thiem from feeling like a professional tennis player to facing retirement for good. The Austrian announced during this season that he would not make it to 2025 as an active player after failing to overcome the aftermath of the wrist injury suffered at the ATP Mallorca 2021. The organization of ATP Vienna decided to give him a wildcard to end his career at home, and as a tribute before the tournament, Thiem defeated Zverev in an exhibition match in front of his local fans to recall the final that marked Domi's first and only Grand Slam title, the US Open 2020.
Dominic Thiem will play what could be the final official match of his career on Tuesday, October 22, against Luciano Darderi in the first round of the ATP Vienna 2024.
He did it again! @domithiem 🇦🇹 wins against good friend @AlexZverev at his farewell in Vienna.
