Germany's Zverev and Auger-Aliassime both defeated Ben Shelton and lost to Jannik Sinner to set up a winner-takes-all clash for the runners-up spot in the Bjorn Borg Group and Auger-Aliassime clinched a place in Saturday's semi-final against world number one Carlos Alcaraz. Zverev was left to rue his failure to take any of his seven break points against Sinner, and it was a similarly frustrating story against the Canadian. The German held break points in both sets but again could not make them count, and the Canadian broke Zverev at 5-4 up to take the first set, before going on to win the second set tiebreak.  In the earlier match, Jannik sinner extender his unbeaten run on indoor hardcourts to 29 matches with a 6-3 7-6(3) victory over Shelton in their dead rubber round-robin match. Sinner's chances of ending the year as world number one evaporated on Thursday, however, when Carlos Alcaraz completed a clean sweep in the Jimmy Connors Group with a win over Lorenzo Musetti, leaving little at stake against Shelton apart from his unbeaten run. Before Sinner and Shelton emerged, Alcaraz was presented on court with the ATP year-end world number one trophy, which the Italian won last year, and the pair may yet do battle one last time in 2025 in Sunday's final.
