Back on track… @AlexZverev registers his first win of the 2020 #NittoATPFinals, defeating Schwartzman 6-3 4-6 6-3 in London
Alexander Zverev claimed his first win at the Nitto ATP Finals on Wednesday, stifling a comeback from event debutant Diego Schwartzman.
The German defeated Schwartzman in a thrilling encounter, advancing after a 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 victory. He now holds a 1-1 record in Group Tokyo 1970, and is one win away from qualifying for the semifinals for the third consecutive year.
“It was much better than on Monday,” said Zverev after the match. “Diego is a very difficult player. He deserves to be here… There are no easy matches, but I am happy to get the win. I am happy to give myself a chance to go to the semi-finals and I am excited for Friday.”
The 2018 champion has recorded only two losses on indoor hardcourts, both of them coming to Daniil Medvedev. With that in mind, Zverev will face Novak Djokovic in his final round-robin match on Friday. Both men are seeking qualification to the semifinals, as the World No.1 lost his match against Medvedev later in the day.
“Friday is going to be the most difficult match you can have here against Novak,” said Zverev. “We played twice here already, so I am looking forward to it.”

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
