The reigning Nitto ATP World Tour Finals champion won 83 per cent of his first-serve points and broke four times as Zverev’s struggled with his serves, double-faulting 10 times in the match. The Germans finally prevailed after 1 hour and 40 minutes of the deciding doubles rubber against Tsitsipas and Pervolarakis.
