Medvedev defeats Zverev to get first ATP Finals win

The 2020 ATP Finals are not the first for Daniil Medvedev, however, he managed to get his first victory against Alexander Zverev just this year.

After a great 2019 season, Daniil Medvedev participated in his first ATP Finals. The young Russian didn't win a single match and the closest he got to the victory was when he led 5-1 in the third set against Rafael Nadal. However, he lost that lead and left London last year empty handed.

This year, however, it seems that Medvedev wants to leave London with much more than just a great experience of playing a final tournament. In his first match at the 2020 ATP Finals, he faced Alexander Zverev in the rematch of the 2020 Paris Masters final.
