Summary
David and Matt discuss the Group Stages of the ATP Finals with Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner seemingly on yet another collision course in Turin.
Part one - Bjorn Borg Group (00:00 - 20:55). We react to Felix Auger-Aliassime’s nervy victory in the decisive match against Alexander Zverev, take stock of the German’s season, and cover how Sinner has cruised to a 3-0 record.
Part two - Jimmy Connors Group (20:56 - 42:28). There’s chat about Carlos Alcaraz securing the year-end number one spot, a brilliant performance but ultimately elimination for Taylor Fritz, a dramatic reversal of fortunes for Alex de Minaur, and some magical Lorenzo Musetti scenes.
Part three - Doubles and SFs Predictions (42:29 - 58:14). Do De Minaur and Auger-Aliassime stand a chance against Sinner and Alcaraz?
