Dominic Thiem vs Daniil Medvedev: Match Preview
Thiem and Medvedev have produced a master-class this past week. The duo have announced their presence and asserted their dominance time and time again. They’ve vanquished the World No.1 Novak Djokovic and the World No.2 Rafael Nadal in order to set up a meeting in the finale.

Daniil Medvedev has turned his Nitto ATP Finals journey from a horror in 2019 to a success story in 2020. The Russian has not lost a single bout against the best players in the world. Further, he vanquished the former champion Alexander Zverev in straight sets. Moreover, he defeated the World No.1 6-3, 6-3 to secure a spot in the semis. However, he did not slack off due to this. Instead, he played a clutch match against Diego Schwartzman to secure a 4-0 head-to-head against him. In the semi-final, he ousted Rafa Nadal 3-6, 7-6, 6-3 for the first time in his career to set a meeting with Thiem.
