Nadal with a spectacular comeback victory

After his opening defeat against defending champion Alexander Zverev, the Spaniard defeated Russian Daniil Medvedev 6:7 (3:7), 6:3, 7:6 (7:4) in a new edition of the US Open final on Wednesday. In the third set he fended off a match point when the score was 1:5.

This means that world number one Nadal still has every chance of making it into the knockout phase before his final group game against the young Greek star Stefanos Tsitsipas on Friday. The elite tournament of the eight best of the season is the only major title that the 19-time Grand Slam winner Nadal is still missing from his collection. The winner in London's o2 World can win up to 2,9 million dollars and 1500 world ranking points.

Tsitsipas defeats Zverev Defending champion Alexander Zverev still has to worry about progressing at the ATP finals in London. After his impressive opening win against Rafael Nadal on Wednesday evening, the 22-year-old lost to Greek newcomer Stefanos Tsitsipas 3:6, 2:6 and thus missed an early entry into the semi-finals. However, in the final preliminary round duel on Friday against Daniil Medvedev, the German holds all the trump cards.

A victory over the Russian would guarantee Zverev qualification for the knockout rounds, although this is theoretically still possible even with another defeat. Tsitsipas, on the other hand, is already a semi-finalist, but with his final match against Nadal he still has an influence on the outcome of the “Andre Agassi” group.
