Alexander Zverev snaps a three-match losing streak against Lorenzo Musetti.
\n By ATP Staff<\/p>\n
By gaining one measure of revenge Saturday at the Erste Bank Open<\/a>, Alexander Zverev<\/a> set up a chance for another in the Vienna final.<\/p>\n In a battle of Top 10 players in the PIF ATP Rankings, Zverev beat Lorenzo Musetti<\/a> 6-4, 7-5, improving to 2-3 in their Lexus ATP Head2Head and flipping the result from their Vienna quarter-final meeting last year. Seeking his second trophy at the ATP 500 (2021), the German will next face Jannik Sinner<\/a> in a rematch of this year’s Australian Open<\/a> title match, won by Sinner in straight sets.<\/p>\n After entering Vienna with a shoulder issue and winning a third-set tie-break against Jacob Fearnley<\/a> in the opening round, Zverev has not lost another set this week in Vienna.<\/p>\n “I found a little bit of confidence in my body and myself a little bit,” the German said. “I felt like today was a good match. Happy with the win and happy to be in the final playing against Jannik now.”<\/p>\n Zverev leads Sinner 4-3 in their Lexus ATP Head2Head. The rivals have not met since their Australian Open<\/a> final.<\/p>\n “I feel like that’s mostly my fault because he’s been pretty much in every single final possible,” Zverev said with a laugh. “I haven’t. It’s going to be a great challenge. I’m looking forward to it, playing one of the two best players in the world, seeing where my level really is.”<\/p>\n 3\u20e30\u20e30\u20e3 hard court wins and counting \ud83d\ude4c<\/p>\n In the battle of former champions in Vienna, @AlexZverev<\/a> prevails over Musetti 6-4 7-5!@ErsteBankOpen<\/a> | #ErsteBankOpen<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/zmEMvzWzea<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 ATP Tour (@atptour) October 25, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Zverev’s semi-final victory was his 300th hard-court win at tour-level, making him just the eighth active player to reach that milestone. His record on the surface now stands at 300-134.<\/p>\n The second seed reached his second Vienna final with a crisp performance, firing nine aces and winning 83 per cent of his first-serve points, according to Infosys ATP Stats. He did not face a break point.<\/p>\n Musetti missed out on a chance to further cement his position in eighth place in the PIF ATP Live Race To Turin. He leads Felix Auger-Aliassime<\/a> by 420 points for the final qualifying spot for the Nitto ATP Finals<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n
