Zverev opens ATP Finals with commanding win over Shelton in Turin

Turin (Italy), Nov 10 (UNI) The two-time champion, Alexander Zverev, produced a commanding display in Turin, defeating American debutant Ben Shelton 6-3, 7-6(6) to open his 2025 campaign with a statement victory.
Zverev was competing for the first time since suffering an ankle injury in a heavy semi-final loss to Jannik Sinner at the Rolex Paris Masters just eight days ago. Even when facing two set points after Shelton found a resurgence to move 6/4 ahead in the second-set tie-break, the German kept his cool to move to 1-0 in the Bjorn Borg Group, according to the ATP website.
“He’s an unbelievably aggressive player. Probably one of the most aggressive in the world,” said Zverev about Shelton. “In the tie-break, he started amazingly. Yes, I missed maybe one or two first serves, and the passing shot he hit (at 5/4) was ridiculous. I felt like I had to control the things that I could control, and I was doing them well.”
