Zverev’s Tough End To Remarkable Season

Expectations have long followed Alexander Zverev, with few people doubting that he is destined for stardom on the ATP World Tour. So it wasn’t a complete shock that the 20-year-old German soared up the Emirates ATP Rankings from No. 24 at the end of last year to third in the world now. His five titles and two ATP World Tour Masters 1000 trophies (Rome, Montreal) this season cemented his status as one of the sport’s best. But Zverev did not finish his 2017 on a high note. He advanced to just one semi-final in his final seven tournaments of the year. And when playing Jack Sock on Thursday evening for a spot in the final four of the Nitto ATP...

Everything was pointing against Jack Sock on Thursday night at the Nitto ATP Finals. After winning the first set against World No. 3 Alexander Zverev, the American had disappeared in the second, losing it in only 28 minutes. To start the decider, Sock had fallen behind a break and received a point penalty for smashing a ball off the court. Zverev stepped up to the service line leading 1-0, 15/0, and with all the momentum at his back. The match looked as if it'd be over in minutes. But Sock, just as he had done earlier this month at the Rolex Paris Masters, came back from near-certain defeat and will now play in the semi-finals of the Nitto ATP Finals...
