Zverev cruises, Alcaraz beaten

In the afternoon match, Casper Ruud romped through the opening set before fighting back from 5-2 behind in the second to beat an out-of-sorts Carlos Alcaraz 6-1, 7-5.

Germany's Zverev (above) had last faced Russian Rublev at the same stage of the finals in 2023 and won by the same score.

Zverev, a two-time winner of this event in 2018 and 2021, moved to second in the John Newcombe group, behind Norway's Ruud.
