"Zverev was left to rue his failure to take any of his seven break points against Sinner, and it was a similarly frustrating story against the Canadian. The German held break points in both sets but again could not make them count, and the Canadian broke Zverev at 5-4 up to take the first set, before going on to win the second set tiebreak."
"Zverev spent much of the second set gesturing to his team, with Auger-Aliassime winning his first two service games to love before both players were guilty of throwing away chances to break. Auger-Aliassime let slip a 2-0 lead in the tiebreak, but when Zverev stepped up to serve at 4-5, the Canadian came through to earn consecutive minibreaks and send the German home."
Jannik Sinner beat Ben Shelton 6-3 7-6(3) to remain on course to defend the ATP Finals title and extended his indoor hardcourt unbeaten run to 29 matches. Felix Auger-Aliassime reached the semifinals with a 6-4 7-6(4) victory over Alexander Zverev, clinching the last semi spot in the Bjorn Borg Group. Zverev failed to convert multiple break-point opportunities against both Sinner and Auger-Aliassime. Auger-Aliassime saved break points in the opening set, broke at 5-4 to take the first set, and earned consecutive minibreaks in the tiebreak to win. Auger-Aliassime will face world number one Carlos Alcaraz in the semifinal.
