German tennis star Alexander Zverev emerges victorious in the semi-finals, securing his spot in the finals of the Tennis Masters event held in Rome in 2024.
The final of the ATP Tennis Masters in Rome 2024 is set to take place on Sunday, with Alexander Zverev and Nicolás Jarry set to battle it out for the coveted title.
The German tennis star, Zverev, is the favourite going into the final, according to sports betting odds. This is not surprising given his impressive performance in previous clay-court encounters against Jarry. In fact, Zverev leads their clay head-to-head 2-0, winning in straight sets in notable meetings such as the 2024 Italian Open.
In their most recent encounter, Zverev defeated Jarry 6–4, 7–5 at the Italian Open. The match duration was about 1 hour and 41 minutes, with Zverev showcasing high first-serve effectiveness (79.6%) and winning 70.0% of points on his first serve during that match.
The final of the ATP Tennis Masters in Rome 2024 will be a repeat of their Italian Open encounter, as both players have made it to the final in Rome. Zverev won his semifinal against Chilean tennis player Alejandro Tabilo in three sets (1:6, 7:6, 6:2), while Jarry defeated Tommy Paul in the second semifinal.
The semifinal victory over Tabilo was not an easy one for Zverev, as he struggled in the first set, losing his serve twice. However, he managed to stabilize in the second set and won a tiebreak (7:6).
Jarry is known as a good return player and has utilized many break chances in Rome. This means that Zverev will have to be at his best to defend his serve and maintain his high first-serve effectiveness.
If Zverev wins the final, it will be his third ATP Tennis Masters in Rome title, having previously won in 2017 and 2021. The final is scheduled for Sunday at 1:30 PM German time, and the English video of the match is available for fans to watch.
