21:12 THE MATCH STARTS! He beats Spanish first.

21:06 A few more minutes at the start of the game

21:02 The two players enter the field, the warm-up begins.

20:58 The direct confrontations speak for themselves and they see a clear dominance of the thirty-three year old Spaniard who has won all five precedents; the last success was recorded in Rome in 2018 where, in the final act, the Majorcan beat Zverev by winning in 3 sets (6-1 1-6 6-3).

20:52 Nadal shows up in London with a seasonal record that speaks of 51 victories at the front of 6 defeats, and is unbeaten in 16 meetings in 2019 which gave him four titles (Rome Internationals, Roland Garros, Toronto Masters 1000 and Us Open).

20:47 On the road to the Spaniard, who has never found success in eight appearances at the Finals, there is Alexander Zverev, the defending champion who however experienced a very complicated 2019 with the only trophy won in Geneva.

20:43 There is a lot of curiosity about the physical condition of Rafa Nadal, forced to retire in the Paris-Bercy semi-final due to an abdominal injury. The Spaniard, recently number 1 in the world, must defend the 640 points ahead in the standings on Novak Djokovic in order to be able to finish the year at the top of the ATP ranking. To guarantee this, the Majorcan would be enough to reach the final without losing any match in this group.

20:39 In the afternoon the other group match saw the success of the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas against the Russian Danil Medvedev for 7-6 6-4.

20:36 So the second match of the day of the Andre Agassi round will start soon.

20:34 The double match ends with the victory of the Herbert / Mahut pair on Cabal / Farah for 6-3 7-5.

20:31 The double match between Cabal / Farah and Herbert / Mahut is still in progress with the seconds that, for 3-6 5-6, are needed for the match. If this second set is won by the French couple the match between Nadal and Zverev should start as scheduled.

20:29 Good evening and welcome to the direct live text of the match valid for tennis ATP Finals between the Spanish Rafael Nadal and the German Alexander Zverev.

The program of the challenge

Hello everyone and welcome to ours Live Textual Live of the second match of the day of ATP Finals of London between Rafa Nadal is Alexander Zverev!

The match is valid for the group Andre Agassi, which also includes Danil Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas; the 33-year-old Majorcan, new number 1 in the world, has returned from the unexpected retirement in the semi-final of the 1000 Paris-Bercy Masters, where he had to declare lump sum due to an abdominal strain suffered in the pre-game warm-up which put his participation in these at risk Nitto ATP Finals. The Spaniard, however, confides to being 100% of his form for this match, having gradually increased his efforts in preparatory training for not having relapses. The 22-year-old German is fresh from a knockout in the round of 16 in Paris, where he surrendered to the future finalist of the tournament Denis Shapovalov in 3 sets. The current number 7 in the world has experienced a somewhat disappointing 2019, with the only success obtained last May at Geneva, where he had to cancel two match points to the Chilean Nicolas Jarry and then win a sweaty victory.

There are eight ATP Finals participations for Nadal, who has never managed to hit the final success, with an overall record of 16 wins against 13 defeats and two defeats in the final act against Federer (2010) and Djokovic (2013 ); Zverev is in third place in the Finals (overall record of 5 wins and 3 defeats) and is the defending champion, having beaten the Serbian last year Novak Djokovic by 6-4 6-3. The direct comparison between the two players sees a clear dominance of the Spaniard who has won all five precedents: in 2016 at Indian Wells, in 2017 at the Australian Open and in Monte Carlo and in 2018 in the Davis Cup and in Rome.
