Alcaraz Triumphs Over Rublev as Zverev Dominates Ruud at ATP Finals

Posted : 14 November 2024

Carlos Alcaraz secured a crucial victory at the ATP Finals, overcoming Andrey Rublev 6-3, 7-6 (10/8) on Wednesday to rebound from his opening loss.

 

The world No. 3 displayed resilience despite recent health issues, including fatigue and breathing problems, which had raised doubts about his participation. Alcaraz showcased improved form and a series of impressive shots, especially in the second set, lifting himself off the bottom of the John Newcombe Group.

 

Alcaraz's win dashed Casper Ruud’s hopes of an early semifinal berth. Ruud, who could have secured his place in the final four had he defeated Alexander Zverev, struggled against the two-time ATP Finals champion.

 

Zverev delivered a commanding performance, winning in straight sets 7-6 (7/3), 6-3. The first set was tightly contested, with both players holding serve until Zverev dominated the tiebreak. He then secured a decisive break in the second set before serving out the match to maintain his perfect record in the group stage.

 

Rublev, now at the bottom of the group after his sixth consecutive ATP Finals defeat, had chances to push the match to a third set against Alcaraz but fell short. Zverev's win leaves him in a strong position to advance, with a final group match against Alcaraz on Friday. Meanwhile, Ruud will face Rublev, with both players needing a win to keep their semifinal hopes alive.

 

Elsewhere in the tournament, world No. 1 Jannik Sinner will aim to secure his spot in the semifinals on Thursday. He only needs to win a single set against Daniil Medvedev to guarantee his place and will top the Ilie Nastase Group if he manages a third consecutive victory.
