LONDON (Reuters) - Alexander Zverev will feel the heat in a group including world number one Novak Djokovic at the ATP Finals next week but you will not see the German reaching for his towel.

The 21-year-old is a rarity on the men's Tour where it now seems the majority of players towel down after virtually every point, sometimes after a rally lasting one shot.
