ATP Finals: Zverev ends Federer 100th career title dreams

Roger Federer must wait until 2019 for another chance to reach 100 career titles after semi-final defeat by Alexander Zverev at the ATP Finals. Zverev, 21, tipped by many as a future Grand Slam champion, triumphed 7-5 7-6 (7-5) at London’s O2 Arena.

Zverev faced boos at the end of the match after he had - legitimately - stopped a point in the tie-break when a ball boy dropped a ball.

After Federer sealed his 99th career singles title in front of a home crowd in Basel last month, all eyes have been on when the great Swiss player will reach triple figures.
