Daniil Medvedev finished his group stage undefeated as he swept past all his opponents, securing his spot in his first semifinals at the Nitto ATP Finals.
Having qualified after gaining a 2-0 lead to top Group Tokyo 1970, the Russian remained ruthless as he cruised past Diego Schwartzman in his final round-robin match.
“I was playing great in the two previous matches. I think it is always good to stay undefeated for the confidence. I wanted to win the match, so I am really happy that I have done it,” said Medvedev after the match. “I was serving really good today, so that helped me a lot throughout all the match.”
The 24-year old will face Rafael Nadal in the semifinals, as he attempts to become just the fourth player to win the season-ending finale after going winless in his debut. Although Nadal holds a 3-0 lead over Medvedev, the Russian remains confident ahead of their semifinal clash.
“I like playing all of the Big Three. When I was so young, starting to hold the racquet and just started to be interested in tennis… I started to see Grand Slams," Medvedev said. "First it was Roger winning everything, then Rafa came and started to make his mark and then it was Novak. It is a great pleasure to play against all of them and I am really looking forward to tomorrow.”

- No surprise really. When things go wrong, you start to see the real Djokovic. He has.a history of throwing tantrums, swearing, destroying rackets, comimg up with excuses and, and, and...... I honestly find it difficult to like or respect this guy.GustafC15-04-2024
- Not only did he Lose... he has shown yet again he is a Loser. If his behavior is a surprise to anyone, then you have a poor ability to assess a person's true being. Or do not wish to see it. A hint may have been when anti-Vax Boy contracted Covid, yet knowingly exposed kids & adults while taking selfies and promo photos with small crowds during at least two publicity functions. That's not the actions of someone who is at all concerned about others! No matter who it may be, famous or not, sooner or later their true identity shines through the façade.
