Alexander Zverev secured his spot in the semifinals of the 2024 ATP Finals today after defeating Carlos Alcaraz. Three wins in three matches in the group stage, just like Jannik Sinner achieved in his group. What's more, neither of them has dropped a set. This marks the third time in the tournament that two players have reached the semifinals without losing a set along the way. Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer did it in 2014, while McEnroe and Gottfried did so in 1978.
📊 For the 3rd time since the creation of the Masters, two players have advanced from the group stage without dropping a set in their 3 matches:
