(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 16 - Taylor Fritz beat Alexander Zverev in the ATP Finals semi-finals in Turin Saturday and will face the winner of the other semi between Jannik Sinner and Casper Ruud in the final of the season-ending event Sunday.
    World number one Sinner plays Ruud Saturday night.
    The American world number five beat the German world number two and pre-match favourite 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 (3).
    South Tyrolean Sinner, who lost last year's Turin final to Serb great Novak Djokovic before winning this year's Australian and US Opens, will face world number seven Ruud of Norway starting at 8 pm Italian time.
    Sinner, who is facing a possible drugs ban, is the overwhelming favourite for final victory and has already eaten Fritz in the US Open final and earlier in this tournament.
    Ruud scored a surprise victory over an out of sourts world number three and four-time slam winner Carlos Alcaraz of Spain this week.
    The last American to win the tournament was 'Pistol Pete' Sampras 25 years ago. (ANSA).
