Andrey Rublev takes down Daniil Medvedev at ATP Finals in Turin

Andrey Rublev played a pretty strong match to outlast Daniil Medvedev in three sets at the ATP Finals 6-7(7) 3-6 7-6(7).

Medvedev is not enjoying an outstanding year and his ATP Finals also started badly. He found himself down against Rublev quite early in the match as he struggled to find a good rhythm on the court but he was able to break back when Rublev served for the set.

A couple of poor errors and a double fault cost Rublev a big chance to close out the first set and it was even worse when he lost the opening set tiebreak. Medvedev proved very patient in that tiebreak getting it done 9-7.

In the second set Rublev found himself up a break early once more and this time around he handled it much better. He didn't allow Medvedev any chances on serve and actually broke him once more to get it done with two breaks 6-3.

The final set was a great one. Both players were pretty sharp and determined to win the match with only one break point saved by Medvedev. Rublev was overall a bit more solid and despite wasting three set points from 6-3 in the tiebreak, he did get it done 9-7 in the end.
