In the semi-finals, he is former tournament winner Adriana Mannarino and reached his first ATP tournament final of the year.
In the semi-finals, both players got off to a slow start, losing their first games on serve. But Medvedev equalized the situation and led with the score 4:2. The Frenchman managed to level the score 4:4, but due to a loss of concentration he gave the first set to Medvedev.
The Russian broke in the fifth game of the second set. He lost serve, serving for the match, but immediately bounced back, winning the next two games and securing a place in the final.
The world No. 2 has a three-game losing streak in the ATP Tournament Finals, but all of those encounters have been against top-5 opponents.
Tim van Reithoven continued his fantastic week in front of his home crowd with a three-set victory over second seed Felix Auger-Aliassim in the semi-final.
The Dutchman showed no signs of nervousness in this important game. He took advantage of a break of serve in the sixth game to win the first set 6-3. However, Auger-Aliassim won the second set 6-1.
The Dutchman showed incredible tennis in the last set, which turned into a tie-break. Van Reithoven won a thrilling tie-break to reach his first-ever ATP Finals. It’s a big event in the life of the 205th racquet in the world, the victory over Auger-Aliassime was the first over a top 10 tennis player, but Medvedev is an opponent of an even higher level.
Van Reithoven will struggle and be cheered on by fanatical fans, but Medvedev is too strong and should claim his first title of the season and second of his career on grass.
