Despite winning five titles this year including the Olympic Gold medal, this is not Alexander Zverev’s best year in terms of results. Nonetheless, with a 54/14 win/loss record in 2021, Zverev had a great season. Notably, Zverev’s record against the top ten players is 8-7 which is not very convincing.
Obviously, Zverev’s results in the Grand Slams and important tournaments were remarkable this year. In fact, the German reached the semi-finals in both the US Open and Rolland Garros and the quarter-final in the Australian Open. Zverev’s last appearance was a defeat against Medvedev in Paris. However, before that loss, the 24-year-old was on an eight-game winning streak including a title-winning performance in Vienna.

Matteo Berrettini must improve his form
Italian Matteo Berrettini was one of the sensations of the year on the ATP Tour, reaching the seventh position on the ATP rankings. Moreover, Berrettini won two titles in London and Belgrade. Also, the 25-year-old reached his maiden Grand Slam in Wimbledon losing to world number one Novak Djokovic.
However, Berrettini’s record against top ten players this season is quite poor. As a matter of fact, the Italian won just one of his seven clashes against players ranked in the top ten. Markedly Berrettini beat Dominic Thiem who is not participating in the Finals. Also, Berretini’s recent form is not very consistent as he lost in the early rounds of the last two tournaments he played in Vienna and Indianapolis.
