Everything started perfectly for Zverev as he triumphed in the 1^st 2 sets to take a 2-0 lead, but in the 3rd and in the 4th set, both tennis players failed to convert a single break point, and both of the sets were decided after a tiebreak, and Medvedev won both of them.

Daniil points to his.

From 2 sets to 0 down.

He did it the hard way, but he did it.
