🔗 Share this article Zverev Takes On Auger-Aliassime in Season-Ending Championships Match Overview The inherent challenges of group stage tennis mean at this point of the ATP Finals viewers are commonly confused, hastily looking for a mathematical tool and attempting to calculate the complex potential outcomes for advancement. However today's game between Alexander Zverev and Felix Auger-Aliassime, mercifully, is straightforward. It's a direct elimination: the successful player secures a semifinal contest against Carlos Alcaraz at this season-ending event; the loser goes home. Zverev is the favourite for this: the third-ranked player is the more accomplished player, has been the champion at this event twice before and holds the advantage in their personal record six matches to three, having won both their previous matches on an enclosed hard court. However … this particular court on which Felix has secured most of his championships, he’s riding a high after his compelling comeback against Shelton on midweek and he defeated the German in the US Championships third round in August. Plus, the playing speed is higher in Turin than at the US Open venue, which works even more in Auger-Aliassime's benefit. If Zverev holds back, similar to his performance against the Italian, and Auger-Aliassime takes it to the European player with his powerful serves and bold strategy, it might very well be the young Canadian – the earlier standout who was once in line in front of Alcaraz and Sinner to replace the Big Three – who earns the questionable privilege of facing the global leader tomorrow. Action commences: at approximately 8:30 PM in Turin, 7.30pm GMT.
