Daniil Medvedev addressed doubters who said his career was "finished" after getting his first win of the week at the ATP Finals. The Russian had a self-confessed "tantrum" in his opening round-robin match against Taylor Fritz, receiving a point penalty and threatening to retire. But he turned things around to beat Alex de Minaur on Tuesday.

The 2024 ATP Finals kicked off with a highly anticipated match between four-seed Daniil Medvedev and five-seed Taylor Fritz. Medvedev has not played his best tennis as of late, and his frustration continues to grow more visible.

Taylor Fritz benefited from a questionable serving decision by Daniil Medvedev and frustrated his opponent so much that the Russian broke his racket and was docked a point in a 6-4, 6-3 victory for the American in the opening match of the ATP Finals.
