With Zverev’s victory, Daniil Medvedev can advance to the semifinals if he beats top-ranked Novak Djokovic later Wednesday in the empty O2 Arena

Zverev, coming off what he had described as one of his worst matches of the season in his opening loss to Medvedev on Monday, led 3-1 in the second set before his Argentine opponent battled back with two breaks.A visibly frustrated Zverev fired a ball into the empty stands after losing the second set.

The 2018 champion must now beat Djokovic on Friday to advance. It will be a rematch of the final from two years ago when Zverev won in straight sets. Schwartzman broke early in the first set, but like in Monday’s loss to Djokovic he immediately gave it back. Zverev broke again for a 4-2 lead thanks to Schwartzman’s unforced errors.On Thursday, Rafael Nadal will play Stefanos Tsitsipas with a semifinal place at stake.Nadal has lost to Tsitsipas just once in six meetings — at the 2019 Madrid Open. He beat Tsitsipas here last year in the round robin before the 22-year-old Greek went on to win the title.
