November 16, 2021 The Russian Medvedev puts his foot in the semifinals by beating the German Zverev in three sets at the ATP: he could have mathematical certainty this evening in the event of a success of Hurkacz on the blue Berrettini (or Sinner ready to take over if the conditions of the Roman tennis player do not will improve).

Fifth win in a row for the 25-year-old Medvedev who takes another success after his debut atp with Hurkacz. He stacks the victory with three sets: 6-3, 6-7 (3) and finally 7-6 (6) against Alexander Zverev who has lost against him since 2019. Two hours and 35 minutes of struggle. This is the seventh consecutive victory of the defending champion in the Finals. The match decided on a few episodes in the tie-break of the third set. The German will play his chances of qualification on the final day of the Round Robin when he faces the Pole Hurkacz. 

Waiting for the blue tennis player Matteo Berrettini who after being blocked due to abdominal pain that forced him to retire from the first match with Alexander Zverev, will decide today together with his staff whether to continue or stop, giving way to another Italian - Jannick Sinner - who just this morning trained with Daniil Medvedev at the Pala Alpitour in Turin.

Should he decide to play, Berrettini will take the field

against the Polish Hubert Hurkacz, otherwise it will be Sinner's turn to enter the game: the South Tyrolean has booked a training ground at 18.30, which was not previously provided, and he fixed the heating if needed.
