ATP Finals: Nadal must be shaking

The French Open winner lost 2:6 (7:7), 9:6 (7:4) in a high-class match against the Austrian Dominic Thiem 7 days after his opening win over Andrei Rublew (Russia). In the final preliminary round match against defending champion Stefanos Tsitsipas (Greece), Nadal needs a win on Thursday. US Open champion and last year's finalist Thiem has the best chance of making it to the knockout round in the “London 2020” group. If Tsitsipas wins against Rublew late on Tuesday evening (from 21.00 p.m. CET), Thiem would no longer be able to reach the semi-finals. The 2 best players in each group advance. Grand Slam record champion Nadal has already collected 86 tournament victories so far, but he has never been able to win the ATP Finals held indoors - anyway, he can only boast two indoor tournament victories. “The conditions in the hall have not been ideal for my game since the beginning of my career,” Nadal said before the start of the tournament in London’s o2 Arena. In the preliminary round group “Tokyo” 1970, the top German player Alexander Zverev is already under a lot of pressure before his second match. The Hamburger, who won the tournament of the eight best of the year in 2, will fight against the early exit against the Argentinian Diego Schwartzman on Wednesday (from 2018 p.m. CET). Zverev had already lost his opening match against Daniil Medvedev (Russia).
