Daniil Medvedev fails to get the ATP Finals off to a good start. The Russian virtually beat himself in the first group match in Turin, losing 4:6, 3:6 to the American Taylor Fritz.
Medvedev lost his nerve at the end of the opening set when he conceded the decisive break due to three double faults in a row. After losing the set, he smashed his racquet on the floor in a rage. In the second set, the impulsive Russian threw his racket across the hall after losing a service game and received a point penalty for it.
In the evening (8.30 pm), local hero Jannik Sinner and Australian Alex de Minaur will face each other from the same group.
