The 22-year-old German served superbly throughout and held his nerve in the second-set tiebreak to notch a second group victory and claim second spot ahead of world No 1 Nadal.

Spaniard Nadal had earlier beaten group winner Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-7 6-4 7-5 in a near three-hour battle to keep his hopes alive but needed Medvedev to do him a favour by beating Zverev.

While it was a great night for Zverev, it was disappointing for those who had hoped to see a Nadal vs Roger Federer semifinal on Saturday. “The young guys have been playing much better tennis than they were maybe last year,” Zverev, who beat Federer and Djokovic back-to-back to win the 2018 title, said.
