2019: 0-3 2020: 3-0 @DaniilMedwed heads into a huge semi-final with Nadal unbeaten this year at the #NittoATPFinals - defeating Schwartzman 6-3 6-3

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.”
