6/0 6/1 in 1h02: Zverev Suffers His 3rd Heaviest Career Defeat

It took Jannik Sinner just one hour to inflict a historic beating on Alexander Zverev: 6/0 6/1 in the semifinals of the Paris Masters 1000.

In Nanterre, the German experienced one of the worst moments of his career, powerless against a dazzling opponent. In 1h02, it was all over. Zverev, head down, left the center court of La Défense Arena, after suffering what many are already describing as a true tennis shipwreck.

Indeed, against the Italian, the German never found the slightest opening. To measure the slap, one only needs to look at the German's history: throughout his entire career, he has only suffered such a score three times, the last time over ten years ago:

- Hamburg (2014): swept 6/0 6/1 by David Ferrer

- Kitzbühel (2014): defeated 6/1 6/0 by Diego Schwartzman

- Paris (2025): crushed 6/0 6/1 by Jannik Sinner

Three almost identical scores, then, but three scars in the career of a player otherwise accustomed to battles.
