Sinner and Zverev to Clash in Vienna Open Final

VIENNA, Austria — Alexander Zverev and Jannik Sinner are set to face off in the Vienna Open final on Sunday, marking their first meeting since the Australian Open in January. Zverev, the third seed, defeated Lorenzo Musetti 6-4, 7-5 in the semi-finals.

In the earlier match, top seed Sinner advanced to his eighth ATP final of the season, overcoming Alex de Minaur 6-3, 6-4. ‘I am excited to play against one of the best players in the world,’ said Zverev, who holds a 4-3 advantage in their head-to-head record.

Zverev reached a significant milestone by securing his 300th hard court win against Musetti. He exhibited strong execution, particularly during key moments, and managed to break Musetti’s service in the crucial 11th game of the second set.

Despite Sinner’s dominance this year, including a streak of 20 consecutive indoor hardcourt wins, Zverev is determined to challenge him again. Sinner’s victory over De Minaur also highlighted his impressive consistency, marking his 50th win against top-10 players.

Joining them in the ATP 500 final discussions is 19-year-old Brazilian Joao Fonseca, who reached his first ATP 500 final after defeating Spain’s Jaume Munar 7-6(7-4), 7-5.

This final not only showcases two top tennis talents, but it also builds upon their previous encounters, setting the stage for an exciting championship match in Vienna.
