ATP Finals in Turin
Debutant beaten! Medvedev hopes to reach the semi-finals
Former ATP Finals title winner Daniil Medvedev can still hope to reach the semi-finals of the 15.25 million dollar end-of-season tournament for tennis professionals. The Russian defeated Australian tournament debutant Alex de Minaur 6:2, 6:4 in Turin on Tuesday and secured his first win in his second group match. Medvedev had lost his opening match in the "Ilie Nastase" group against Taylor Fritz.
In the first set, breaks at 2:1 and 4:1 were enough for Medvedev to set the course, he used the first opportunity to make it 6:2. In the second round, de Minaur kept up until 4:4 before he had to give up his service decisively. Medvedev served out the first match point after 80 minutes.
To conclude the preliminary round, the world number four will face crowd favorite and local hero Jannik Sinner on Thursday. The head-to-head with the world number one is 7:7, but Sinner is currently the favorite. The latter will play Fritz in the evening (not before 20:30/live Sky).
