Alex de Minaur’s ATP Finals debut appears to have come to a brutal end with a match still to play after being blown off court by a rejuvenated Daniil Medvedev. The Russian, who said he was looking forward to the season being over after succumbing to a tantrum during his opening round defeat to Taylor Fritz, brushed aside the Australian No.1 6-2, 6-4 in 78 minutes of high-octane tennis.
After that loss Medvedev said he had taken “zero pleasure of being on the court” for “a long time”, but he will have enjoyed the opening set even if his countenance remained a mask of concentration. This was a highly focused Medvedev, and he seized the first set in 40 minutes. De Minaur survived a break point in the first match but was broken in the third and fifth to find himself 5-1 down in barely half-an-hour.
