Russian tennis player Daniel Medvedev called ATP Finals tournament group stage match with German ‘mentally difficult’ Alexander Zverev .
The meeting took place on Wednesday in Turin and ended with a score of 7:6 (9:7), 6:4 in favor of the Russian. Medvedev reached the semi-finals ahead of schedule; in the final round, his opponent will be the second racket in the world, the Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz .
— Mentally, it was a very difficult match. I started well and played well. At first, Zverev was catching up, but at some point he strengthened his game, and at that point, for some reason, I started playing a little worse for a short time.
I’m happy that I was able to rebuild and play better at the end of the first set. The end of the two sets was very tense… In the tie-break, he had a set point on his serve. I’m happy to have won because I lost several similar matches this year.
Alcaraz? I saw his match against Rublev and he played much better than in the first round. He made fewer mistakes, earning points with stunning shots from the baseline. I hope that in the match against him I will feel good and be ready for the fight. It’s a tough tournament, and I’ve already reached the semi-finals, so I have to keep the pace,” Medvedev is quoted on the official ATP website.
The ATP tournament final will take place in Turin from November 12 to 19. The winner will win more than $4.8 million. Last year, Serbian Novak Djokovic became the tournament champion.
