Zverev fails in the Vienna final: Sinner secures the title and 500,000 euros!
In an exciting final of the ATP tournament in Vienna, Alexander Zverev had to admit defeat against Jannik Sinner. After around two and a half hours of play, the final score was 6:3, 3:6, 5:7. With this victory, Sinner secured his 22nd ATP title and took home prize money of around 500,000 euros. Zverev has already reached four finals this year, but only won the title in Munich. In addition to Vienna, he also lost in the final of the Australian Open and in Stuttgart. ZDF today reports that Zverev's physical condition left a positive impression.
This defeat comes at a bad time for Zverev, as he will enter the Masters tournament in Paris next week as the defending champion. At the same time, it is important to prepare for the ATP Finals in Turin on November 9th. Zverev will also take part in the final round of the Davis Cup in Bologna after the ATP Finals are completed.
A big loss for German tennis
The tennis community mourns Nikola “Niki” Pilic, the former German Davis Cup captain, who died at the age of 86. Pilic leaves a significant gap in German tennis, which continues to be shaped by the successes of Zverev and others. In this context, Zverev is also supported by tennis legend Boris Becker, who has already emphasized that Zverev has the chance to become the third German player to win a Grand Slam. Becker sees this as an opportunity to further stimulate the tennis boom in Germany. Tennis 365 emphasizes that Zverev not only has to be talented, but also mentally strong to achieve his goals.
In particular, Jannik Sinner's rise, his title defense at the Australian Open and his impressive record on hard courts, winning 34 out of 35 matches, make him a serious challenger in the tennis circus. Zverev's direct duels against Sinner, in which he leads 4-2, could prove crucial in future encounters. It remains to be seen whether Zverev can turn things around in the coming tournaments.
By looking forward and with the support of his family, Zverev hopes to realize his title dreams in the near future. We are excited to see what happens next for the talented German and whether he can get revenge in Paris.
