Sinner Rallies Past Zverev to Win Vienna

Jannik Sinner rallied from a set down to beat Alexander Zverev 3-6, 6-3, 7-5 in the Vienna Open final on October 26, sealing the match with a decisive break in the 11th game and winning in roughly two and a half hours. It was his 22nd career title, his fourth ATP Tour crown of 2025, his second Vienna triumph (he also won in 2023), and earned him 500 ATP points while extending his indoor hard-court unbeaten run to 21 matches. The world No. 2 has reached eight finals this season — the first player to do so in back-to-back seasons since Novak Djokovic in 2015-16 — and added another top-10 scalp to his campaign. Sinner battled a thigh/hamstring issue during the week but heads into the Paris Masters and the ATP Finals with strong momentum. He remains 840 points behind Carlos Alcaraz for year-end No. 1, leaving that outcome possible only under narrow scenarios in Paris and beyond.
