German world number three Alexander Zverev is also through to the last four in Vienna after Dutchman Tallon Griekspoor withdrew from their quarter-final match.<\/p>\n

With that result, Zverev, seeded second in Vienna, joined Alcaraz, Sinner and Novak Djokovic as the first four players to qualify for the season-ending ATP Finals in November.<\/p>\n

Zverev will play Italian fourth seed Lorenzo Musetti or Frenchman Corentin Moutet in the other semi-final on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, at the Swiss Indoors, three of the four quarter-finals scheduled for Friday ended as walkovers.<\/p>\n

Norway’s Casper Ruud decided he could not continue after losing a first-set tie-break against Spain’s Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, and Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime retired after Spaniard Jaume Munar won the first set 6-3.<\/p>\n

Canadian Denis Shapovalov shook hands with Joao Fonseca after falling 3-6 6-3 4-1 behind against the Brazilian.<\/p>\n

In the only match to be completed in Basel, Frenchman Ugo Humbert beat American Reilly Opelka 7-6 (7-0) 6-4.<\/p>\n

Several high-profile players have seen their seasons ended prematurely over recent weeks.<\/p>\n

Following a serious injury to Holger Rune, British number one Jack Draper called for the tennis calendar to be adapted<\/a> if players are “to achieve some sort of longevity” earlier in October.<\/p>\n

Former women’s world number one Iga Swiatek complained in September that the season is “too long and too intense” amid a string of injuries to players at the China Open.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"German world number three Alexander Zverev is also through to the last four in Vienna after Dutchman Tallon…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":239182,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[565],"tags":[64,63,85,747],"class_list":{"0":"post-239181","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-tennis"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239181","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=239181"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239181\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/239182"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=239181"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=239181"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=239181"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
