TURIN, Italy (AP) — U.S. Open finalist Taylor Fritz frustrated Daniil Medvedev to the point that the Russian smashed 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 on Sunday.
Medvedev received two code violations from the chair umpire for his behavior.
“I get angry, frustrated. This time completely with myself, not with anyone. Just with myself,” Medvedev said.
Later, top-ranked Jannik Sinner delighted his home fans with a 6-3, 6-4 win over finals debutant Alex de Minaur.
