Zverev beat Khodar at the start of the Final tournament of the Association of tennis professionals

In the first match of the Final Tournament of the Association of Tennis Professionals in Turin, German representative Alexander Zverev (ATP: 1) defeated Spaniard Rafael Khodar (ATP: 11) - 6:4, 6:4. It's reported by sb.by.

The German met with a fitting rebuff. However, in the end, he still confirmed the status of the favorite, having won the first victory as the leader of the world ranking. Zverev became the first racket of the world on November 2, but in the opening match in this status on November 4 he lost to Italian Lorenzo Muzetti at a major tennis tournament in Paris - 6:7 (5:7), 2:6.

Today, November 15, Zverev also made his fans worried. Nevertheless, he achieved a winning result. In each party, the representative of Germany made only one break. But coupled with an impeccable game on his own serve, this was enough to win.

At 22:30, the match begins Ben Shelton (ATP: 4, USA) – Arthur Fis (ATP: 7, France). And tomorrow, November 16, the first round of the group stage will close with Carlos Alcaras (ATP: 3, Spain) – Francis Tiafo (ATP: 8, USA), Daniil Medvedev (ATP: 5, Russia) – Flavio Cobolli (ATP: 6, Italy).

According to the results of the group stage, two tennis players from each group will break through in the playoffs. And then there will be a game for elimination on the Olympic system. The final match is scheduled for November 22.

Last year, the winner of the ATP Final tournament was Italian Yannick Sinner, who prematurely ended the current season due to a knee injury.
