Italy’s tennis star Jannik Sinner is a semi-finalist before his final group game at the season finale of the ATP Tour.
The 23-year-old world number one benefited from the outcome of the duel between the American Taylor Fritz and the Australian Alex de Minaur in Turin. Fritz won in three sets 5:7, 6:4, 6:3 and thus helped Sinner advance early.
US Open finalist Fritz still has to worry about his place in the top four and is dependent on Sinner’s performance. In the evening match (8.30 p.m. live and exclusively on Sky Tennis) between the Italian world number one Sinner and Daniil Medvedev from Russia the decisions about the final placements in the group will be made. The winless de Minaur alone has no chance of progressing.
Zverev challenges Alcaraz
Alexander Zverev leads the other group before the last preliminary round matchday on Friday. In a duel with the Spanish Wimbledon and French Open winner Carlos Alcaraz (2 p.m. live and exclusively on Sky Tennis), the world number two wants to make his semi-finals perfect. Everything is still open in his group before the final match day. Zverev has the best starting position with two wins.
