Zverev finally defeats Alcaraz: "I thought he was Spider-Man".

Alexander Zverev continues to impress in Turin. Already a solid winner over Andrey Rublev and Casper Ruud, he has just disposed of Carlos Alcaraz with great authority to finish top of his group with three wins from three matches and no sets lost.

Interviewed on court following his victory over his Spanish rival, the smiling German declared: "Yes... an incredibly high level. The tiebreak in the first set, in particular, was ridiculous. There were moments when I thought he was Spider-Man again.

He's beaten me too many times this year in important matches, so I'm happy to have won this match. I feel we have a good rivalry and a great friendship.

It's always nice to play against him, except when he beats me. It's not fun, but sharing the court with him... yes! He's a great guy."
