Sock Powers Into London Semifinals

November 17, 2017 | By Long Island Tennis Magazine Staff

 

The fantastic run to end the 2017 season for Jack Sock continued on Thursday as the American downed Germany’s Alexander Zverev 6-4, 1-6, 6-4 to advance into the semifinals of the ATP Finals at the O2 Arena in London.

“He got me early on when we played. I’ve been able to get some wins against him,” Sock said of the head-to-head with Zverev. “Obviously I think he’s a little bit different player since the last time I played him. I think he’s really found his game, what exactly he wants to do out there. It’s showing throughout the year. He’s playing deep into tournaments almost every week, really establishing himself in the Top 10.

But once again, I’m playing with a lot of confidence as well, coming off Paris, playing here, winning some of my matches, getting into the semis.”

The win is the third over a Top 5 opponent in Sock’s career and assures that he will finish the year inside the Top 8.

He will take on Bulgaria’s Grigor Dimitrov in the semifinals on Saturday.
