2020 was the price of a good chunk of time different from 2019 for Russian Daniil Medvedev. Last year he broke in and impressed with a slew of titles he won, including two Masters 1000s, and finals played, including a Grand Slam at the US Open. However, the current season has not been at the same level for Daniil, but the fourth player in the world recovered spectacularly in the last meters in November. Almost two weeks ago, he won at Paris-Bercy, his first trophy in 2019 and his third Masters 1000 of his career. And now, the Tournament of Champions has popped up, the most important success of his career.

SET 1. Dominic Thiem seemed to have a hard time getting the job done, but the Austrian was the first to break the deadlock, 2-2. From that moment Medvedev tried to close the gap but failed.

SET 2. In the second part, there was no interruption in the services of the two. Medvedev and Thiem faced each other in close matches and the set was decided by a tiebreak. A terrible deployment of forces followed. Thiem won the first two points, but lost the next 7 and Medvedev took the set!

SET 3. Medvedev again put all his weapons in the deciding set, just as he did with Rafael Nadal in the semifinals. The Russian chased chances, managed to get the counterattack, at 2-2 and held him tight. He got 5-4 and match ball and was relentless!
