Look ahead to semi-final day for the 2024 ATP Finals with The Tennis Gazette, diving into the order of play and how to watch live as Alexander Zverev takes on Taylor Fritz.
Turin has seen some top-tier tennis over the past week but the 2024 ATP Finals is drawing to a close. Italy’s World No1 Jannik Sinner was the force to be reckoned with in the Ilie Nastase Group, as he went unbeaten through ties against Alex de Minaur, Fritz and Daniil Medvedev.
Over in the John Newcombe Group, it was Zverev who emerged as the force to be reckoned with. Germany’s World No2 sealed his spot in the semi-finals with wins over Andrey Rublev, Casper Ruud and Carlos Alcaraz. Only Sinner and Zverev remain undefeated in Turin thus far.
Storming through the group stage with 3-0 records even means Sinner and Zverev remain in contention to win the maximum prize purse on offer at the ATP Finals in 2024 of $4,881,500. Fritz and Ruud cannot earn the same amount after losing matches, with $2,237,200 on offer.
