Unbelievable but true: Even at the highest level, as is the case at the ATP Finals with the participation of the eight best teams of a year per se, a set can still end 6-0. This happened in the first match on Thursday in Turin, where Lloyd Glasspool and Harri Heliovaara didn't concede a single game to their opponents Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos in the first round. The second act was more balanced, Glasspool/Heliovaara made the decisive break to 6:0 and 6:4 in the tenth game.
This means that the two, who only rose to the top of the world this year, are in the semi-finals in Turin. Who follows them from the red group is still open: Rajeev ram and Joe Salisbury only have to win one set in the evening match against Marcelo Arevalo and Jean-Julien Rojer.
