Alexander Zverev’s eighth ATP Finals campaign ended in the group stage following his loss to Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Zverev fell to Auger-Aliassime in straight sets, 6-4, 7-6, with the Canadian booking his place in the knockout stages of the year-end tournament for the first time.
The German won just one match in Turin, having beaten Ben Shelton in his opening round-robin clash before suffering defeat to Jannik Sinner.
His loss to Auger-Aliassime marked the end of Zverev’s 2025 season on the ATP Tour, in which he clinched just one title.
The defeat also saw him join tennis legends Jimmy Connors and Stefan Edberg in an unwanted list.
