Alexander Zverev to break his losing streak against Medvedev
Alexander Zverev had to fight hard to win the first set against Matteo Berrettini who retired due to injury. Markedly, It was a very close set with both players holding their serve until they played the tiebreak. To point out, Zverev served better with 72% and won on average the same number of points behind his first serve. Moreover, in the unforced error area, Zverev was much better than Berrettini with just nine to the Italian’s 23.
The 2018 winner of the ATP Tour Finals Zverev has to be at his best in his second match against Medvedev. Especially, considering the fact that Zverev was beaten in the last four h2h meetings. Incidentally, the latest defeat came just 2 weeks ago when Medvedev beat the world’s number 3 in Paris in a relatively easy match by 6-2 6-2.
