Daniil Medvedev Shines at ATP Finals, Emerges as Third Best Player of the Season

Daniil Medvedev demonstrated this Wednesday at the ATP Finals that after Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz, who have shared the Grand Slam titles, he is the third best tennis player of the season. Leader in victories (66) and second in titles (5), after the Serbian and the Spanish (6), he aims high in Turin after winning 7-6 (7) and 6-4 in 1h45.

With this result, the Russian qualified for the semifinals for the third time (he was champion in 2020 and runner-up in 2021) and incidentally, he helped Alcaraz, his rival, on Friday (2:30 p.m., Movistar+), because now the Spaniard depends on himself same. If he wins or loses and Zverev also wins against Rublev, he will accompany the Muscovite in the crosses.

Medvedev has the measure of Zverev, one of his most frequent opponents, whom he has won 11 times in 18 meetings. This year, the balance favors him 5-1. In the Finals they have already met 5 times (3-2 for Daniil). The German’s serve (9 aces) this time was not so decisive. He lost it twice, once in each set, although in the first he counterbreaked to force a tiebreaker in which he had two set points, at 6-5 and 7-6. In the second he gave up his serve just to make it 6-4 that gave the victory to Medvedev.
