Zverev’s Dismal Performance

Alexander Zverev appeared to concede defeat early in the match, offering little resistance to Sinner’s relentless play. He ⁣surrendered the first game with a weak forehand into the net, signaling the beginning of a one-sided contest. The match quickly devolved into a 6-0, 6-1 rout for sinner, with Zverev visibly struggling​ with physical issues that prompted a visit from the physiotherapist.

Despite ‍his physical discomfort, Zverev chose to remain on the court, demonstrating ⁢a determination to finish the match. However, his efforts were insufficient‍ to turn the ‌tide against a dominant Sinner.

Sinner’s Path ​to the Final
