Alexander Zverev offered a candid breakdown following his defeat to Jannik Sinner at the ATP Finals in Turin. The German highlighted how Sinner’s serving under pressure proved decisive. “The biggest difference was how he was serving on the break points. I had more break points than him. I felt good from the baseline when we were in a rally… seven break points and seven first serves. Not one second serve I had at break point,” Zverev explained.

Baseline exchanges and missed chances

Zverev noted that rallies from the baseline were competitive, but the Italian’s ability to deliver first serves in crucial moments tilted the balance. Despite creating opportunities, the German was unable to capitalize, leaving him frustrated with the missed chances.
