ATP Tour Finals 2020: Rafael Nadal vs Stefanos Tsitsipas preview

The King of Clay, Rafael Nadal has not been at his best on the hard courts of London so far. The World No. 2 was starting to look like a real threat to Novak Djokovic's top spot but a few missteps at the Paris Masters led to the Spaniard losing out on some valuable points. This will be Nadal's last chance at accumulating some points to give him a leg up going into next year. 

Nadal's ATP Tour Finals 2020 run began with a stunning 6-3, 6-4 victory over Russian youngster Andrey Rublev. However, the World No. 2 was handed a tough loss by this year's US Open champion Dominic Thiem in his second match. Thiem overcame his 4-9 head to head against Nadal to take the match, 7-6, 7-6. He has clinched the London 2020 Group's first semi-final spot and will be awaiting his opponent from tonight's match between Djokovic and Zverev.

Tsitsipas meanwhile, lost his first game at the tournament 6-7, 6-4, 3-6 to Dominic Thiem in a repeat of last year's ATP Finals. The defending champion, Tsitsipas won that encounter but failed this year. The World No. 6 came back in fine form in his second match as he defeated Rublev in straight sets to go 1-1 in the group. He will have to win today's match to make it to the semifinals. The winner of today's match will meet Group Tokyo 1970's first qualifier - Daniil Medvedev.
