Alexander Zverev played already one match today but for former world no. 1 it was first showing since this year's ATP Finals,
The 2022 Diriyah Tennis Cup started well for the German, who defeated Dominic Thiem in the opening match. However, in the quarterfinals, he faced Daniil Medvedev and the Russian was really determined to advance as he started the match in an incredible way.
Despite facing a break point in the first game and also in the third, Medvedev kept his composure and upped his level on the return. He managed to create five break point chances in the first set and after using three of those, he won it 6-0.
In the second set, Zverev managed to play much better as he used his only break point and led already 3-1. Yet, Medvedev managed to break back and when the German was serving to stay in the match, he couldn't handle the pressure and lost the game to love.
Despite the loss, Zverev will be certainly happy that he managed to play two competitive matches against solid opponents. On the other hand, the second-seeded Medvedev will focus on his semifinal clash with Stan Wawrinka, who defeated Andrey Rublev earlier today.
