JAKARTA Daniil Medvedev beat Alexander Zverev to become the first player to get a ticket to the 2023 ATP Finals semifinals.

Medvedev memastikan diri lolos dari Grup Merah dengan kemenangan 7-6 (9-7) dan 6-4 atas petenis Jerman itu di Pala Alpitour, Kamis, 16 November 2023 dini hari WIB.

After Medvedev's match, he said mentally this match was really not easy. However, he was able to play well against Zverev.

"I'm happy because this year I might lose in several games like this. I'm happy to be able to win," said the Russian tennis player as reported by ATP.

This is Medvedev's fifth win of their six meetings this season. His only defeat against Zverev in that period took place in Cincinnati, August 17, 2023.

In addition, this result also raises Medvedev's winning-loss record over Zverev to 11-7 overall. As for the ATP Finals, Medvedev is now ahead of the 3-2 meeting record.

Medvedev, who in the group's first game beat compatriot Andrey Rublev, will next meet Spanish player Carlos Alcaraz.

Alcaraz himself lost his debut match against Zverev before rising to secure his first win against Rublev. The result keeps his hopes of qualifying for the semifinals.
