Alexander Zverev’s first tournament as the newly crowned world number one ended in a semi-final defeat in Vienna, where Australia’s Alex de Minaur beat him 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 (4).
De Minaur, ranked 10th, will face Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz in Sunday’s final. Alcaraz beat Daniil Medvedev 6-4, 7-6 (2), ending the Russian’s winning run after his title in Almaty last week.
Zverev took the top spot from Italy’s Jannik Sinner by reaching the Vienna quarter-finals earlier in the week. He is also set to finish the year as world number one. During the match against De Minaur, Zverev repeatedly complained that the balls were bouncing too much, according to the report.
