Daniil Medvedev바카라 웹사이트recorded his maiden win at the바카라 웹사이트season-ending ATP Finals as he defeated Alexander Zverev바카라 웹사이트for the second time in바카라 웹사이트eight days.
The Russian came out on top in an eventful first set that spanned 51 minutes on his way to recording a바카라 웹사이트6-3 6-4 triumph against a now-familiar opponent.
Medvedev바카라 웹사이트lost when the pair met in the round-robin stage of the same tournament a year ago, though had come out on top in their most recent encounter, rallying from a set down in the바카라 웹사이트final of the Paris Masters바카라 웹사이트earlier in November.
There was no need for him to go the distance in London, however, as an erratic Zverev who struggled badly on his own바카라 웹사이트serve – including sending down seven double faults – was beaten in straight sets.
Both players lost their opening service games as they struggled to take a grip on proceedings,바카라 웹사이트Medvedev eventually the one to seize control as he finished strongly to seal바카라 웹사이트the opener.
The second set was not so action-packed, though it did include an underarm serve from Medvedev at 30-all in the바카라 웹사이트eighth game, a tactic that paid off as he won the point바카라 웹사이트before offering up an apology.
By that stage the fourth seed had already recorded a break to edge himself ahead, a lead he retained comfortably enough to allow him to serve out the victory.
An angled backhand winner on the run saw Medvedev finish with a flourish,바카라 웹사이트setting him up nicely for a clash with Novak Djokovic – who had earlier defeated Diego Schwartzman바카라 웹사이트– on Wednesday.
"Confidence is a key, for sure. Winning a Masters always helps for confidence," Medvedev told Amazon Prime Sport in his on-court interview.
"It was a little bit shaky from both of us [in the first set]. Second set, it was easier for both of us to hit some winners because we were so tired, we couldn't run any more!"
