A triumph that shakes the tennis world! Alexander Zverev reached the semi -finals of the ATP Finals in Turin with a spectacular victory over the Spanish superstar Carlos Alcaraz. The Hamburger, who sweeps the crowd with his passionate cheers, returned to the painful defeat in the French Open final and prevailed 7: 6 (7: 5), 6: 4. With this glamorous appearance, Zverev not only underpinned its title ambitions, but also a perfect group phase with three wins from three games!

But the next big duel is imminent! In the semifinals, Zverev meets his "fear opponent" Taylor Fritz from the USA, against whom he already failed this year at Wimbledon and the US Open. But after his impressive appearance in Turin, Zverev goes into the game with new confidence. The victory over Alcaraz, who played with a pink nose pavement, was sixth success in the eleventh meeting with the Spaniard.

frustration over the long season

But after the game, Zverev let his frustration run free over the exhausting season. "What we are doing here is complete madness," scolded the world ranking second over the short break from mid -November to the end of December. He complained that he had "spent three days at home" this year. "Name me another professional sport where you only have four weeks a year," he said.

Zverev, which flies to Australia on December 19, criticized the lack of time for the family: "We don't have a single holiday with the family. Even the Bundesliga has vacation for Christmas and New Year." The Tokyo Olympic champion has already won 69 victories this season and could celebrate his third title with another triumph at the season finale. But the pressure remains high while preparing for the challenges of the next season!
