Medvedev and Zverev Reach Semifinals at the ATP Final in Turin
The quarterfinal clash at the ATP Final in Turin featured Daniil Medvedev of Russia taking on Alexander Zverev of Germany. Medvedev emerged victorious with sets of seven points to six and six points to four, securing a spot in the semifinals. An online live text update from socialbites.ca covered the match as it unfolded.
With this win, Medvedev advances to the tournament’s semifinals for a third time. He reached the knockout stage ahead of his final round-robin match against Carlos Alcaraz, making a late surge into the last four unnecessary to ensure his progress.
Meanwhile, Andrey Rublev, another Russian contender, saw his hopes of a semifinal berth fade after losing to Alcaraz in a separate round. Medvedev had previously defeated Rublev in their first round encounter with scores of 6 4 to 6 2. Zverev then defeated Alcaraz in a dramatic match that went to a tiebreak, finishing 6:7, 6:3, 6:4 in favor of the German. In the second round, Alcaraz defeated Rublev in straight sets with scores of 7:5 and 6:2. The tournament format awards the top two finishers from each group a place in the semifinals at the year end event in Turin.
