It’s time for the second round of matches in the Bjorn Borg Group at the ATP Finals, with Jannik Sinner taking on Alexander Zverev and Ben Shelton coming up against Felix Auger-Aliassime.<\/p>\n

20:02 CET – In today’s second doubles clash, Marcelo Arevalo<\/a> and Mate Pavic<\/a> have registered their first win of the tournament, defeating Christian Harrison<\/a> and Evan King<\/a> 7-6(5), 6-7(2), 13-11<\/a> to keep their hopes of a semi-final spot alive.<\/p>\n

19:05 CET –\u00a0Next up, in just over an hour and a half, is the fourth meeting of the season between Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Both head into the match with a win under their belt, with Sinner beating Auger-Aliassime<\/a> in straight sets in his first match and Zverev doing the same against Shelton<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Italian has beaten the German in each of their clashes in 2025, but the German did push him hard in Vienna last month, becoming the first man this season to take a set off the US Open champion on an indoor hard court.<\/p>\n

A win for Sinner would guarantee him a place in the semi-finals.<\/p>\n
