Jannik Sinner is now in ATP Finals semifinals, after dominating Alexander Zverev 6-4, 6-3, extending an incredible 28-match winning streak on hard courts (since losing to Djokovic in the 2023 ATP Finals).

As expected, after beating Felix Auger-Aliassime and Alexander Zverev in straight sets, Sinner secures spot as group leader for the semi-finals on the weekend. The other semifinalist from the Bjorn Borg group will be decided on Friday: whoever wins the match between Zverev and Auger-Aliassime will join Sinner... unless Ben Shelton manages the feat of defeating Sinner.
