Planning to return to ATP Finals action next year, it would be hard to count Roger Federer out as he attempts to qualify again at 40, and achieve more milestones in his legendary career.

Daniil Medvedev closed out the day of some of the best matches we've seen this year with his first win over Rafael Nadal.

Here's how it all went down:


Nadal served for the match, before Medvedev rallied to beat the lefty for the first time.

As Dominic Thiem found his way to victory over Novak Djokovic, the student became the teacher...at least for today.


“He deserved it... he just went for it and everything worked,” Djokovic said in London.

Only one will prevail to reach the final. ☝️
