Tim Henman has strong warning for Alexander Zverev after his defeat to Taylor Fritz at the ATP Finals
Alexander Zverev’s perfect week in Turin came to an end as Taylor Fritz won 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 to advance to the final of the ATP Finals.
Zverev had won his opening three matches at the ATP Finals without dropping a set, looking like a strong favorite for the title.
The German began with a win against Andrey Rublev, before Zverev beat Casper Ruud in his second outing, leaving him a win away from the semi-finals.
A tough test against the Spanish world number three was up next, but Zverev comfortably beat Alcaraz to advance to the last four in Turin.
Zverev was rewarded with a tough matchup against Taylor Fritz in the semi-finals, a man who has had the better of him in recent times.
Fritz took down Zverev at the US Open earlier this year, having beaten him at Wimbledon a few months prior.
The 27-year-old German was looking to get one over on Fritz in Turin, but it didn’t quite work out that way.
Tim Henman says Alexander Zverev must be more ‘aggressive’ if he wants to win a Grand Slam
Speaking to Sky Sports following Zverev’s defeat to Fritz at the ATP Finals, Tim Henman challenged the German for being too passive.
“It’s still the question mark that is going to be thrown at Sacha [Alexander] Zverev,” he said
