ATP Tour Finals 2020: Nadal vs Medvedev semi-final
Earlier this year, Rafael Nadal won his 13th French Open title to equal Roger Federer's record of 20 Grand Slam titles. With this, Rafa put himself firmly in contention for the title of the GOAT of tennis.
However, of the many titles that still elude the King of Clay, the ATP Tour Finals title is one. The closest Rafa has ever gotten to winning at the O2 was in 2010 and 2013, when he was the runner-up. After winning a tough three-setter against Tsitsipas, the 34-year-old became the second qualifier from the London 2020 group and he will hope to finally go all the way this year.
Daniil Medvedev meanwhile, has surpassed all expectations. The 24-year-old has become the only player to remain undefeated in the group stages of the tournament, having thoroughly beaten Novak Djokovic, Alexander Zverev and Diego Schwartzman in straight sets to make to the semi-finals. The question is whether this momentum will be enough to take him through to the finals against someone he has never been able to defeat. If he wins, Medvedev will join an elite group of players who have won the title after going down 0-3 in their debuts at the series.

Nadal vs Medvedev head to head
Rafael Nadal and Daniil Medvedev have met just three times through their careers. The numbers in this case are overwhelmingly in favour of the Spaniard who has won each of those three encounters. Nadal and Medvedev have only met on hard courts, including a meeting at the round-robin stages during the ATP Tour Finals last year that saw Rafa win
6-7, 6-3, 7-6.
