Atp Finals – Tsitsipas folds Zverev and flies in seeds. Nadal in trouble

It is a test of maturity, but also of strength. And it is the daughter of a performance that is simply free of smudges. To lead the Late Night Show under the O2 Arena in London on Day 4 is Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Moreover, it has been redeemed by the success against Daniil Medvedev. The Greek talentino repeats, archives the practice Alexander Zverev with a net 6-4 6-2 and at the debut in the "Masterone" finds a place in the first four. He could lose the first place in the Agassi Group, of course, but it would basically be the only condition to avoid Roger Federer or Novak Djokovic.

The Greek avoids the play-off with Rafa Nadal (more than a simple survivor) and bends the group to different scenarios. Calculator in the hand the misstep does not prove definitive for the Teutonic, which would overcome the cut the cut of the rounds beating Daniil Medvedev, decidedly different the situation in the house Nadal.

At the number one in the world a success might not be enough in that case on the last day. Beat the opponent out of the field with the service, place the feet in the field, draw the farthest corner with the forehand.

Thus, in the second gala event, he immediately made things clear. The Greek Talentino does not suffer. Recover, yes, in the same game from 15-30, it cancels a break ball in the heart of the inaugural fraction, but tactically and technically takes care of all the details with greater attention.

He manages to win the battle on the left diagonal, realistically the most complicated one, and to manage prolonged exchanges extraordinarily effectively. Accomplices the opponent's difficulties with the service – which fights with the first ball and dirty the error notebook with some double foul – breaks the balance on 4-3 and completes the work with a practically perfect turn.

Tsitsipas does not take his foot off the accelerator. And it also eliminates unforced from the strategic plan. Zverev fails to make changes to the tactical plan, to gain centimeters in response, to make a difference with the service.

It shows itself vulnerable, in a sense also dominated by circumstances and dynamics, substantially devoid of energy. With a very high percentage of points with the first ball (and a second break that catches on 3-1) the Greek Talentino shoots up to the finish without difficulty.

And in the lot of the best eight he stands as one of the most favored. CLICK HERE TO CONSULT ALL THE DAY RESULTS AND THE TOMORROW PROGRAM Photo Credit: Getty Images
