TURIN, Italy: Alexander Zverev got off to a winning start in his ATP Finals campaign on Monday by battling back from a set down to beat Carlos Alcaraz 6-7 (3/7), 6-3, 6-4. Russian Zverev, a two-time winner at the year-ending tournament, put on a powerful display to see off world No. 2 Alcaraz who is not on top form after returning from injury at the end of last month. Wimbledon champion Alcaraz struggled with lower back and left foot problems which had kept him out of action since the Shanghai Masters in early October.
