The group stages of the ATP Finals are well underway with Carlos Alcaraz already at risk of an early elimination after his surprise defeat to Alexander Zverev. The world No 2 took the opening set, but couldn’t see out the match as Zverev impressively fought back.
It’s the first time since March 2021 that Alcaraz has lost three matches in a row and he now must beat Andrey Rublev to give himself a chance of making it through to the knockout stages. The Green Group play today with Stefanos Tsitsipas first up against Holger Rune before Novak Djokovic faces Jannik Sinner.
