Stefano Tsitsipas takes on Daniil Medvedev

Stefanos Tsitsipas is currently ranked 6th in the ATP Rankings will take on Medvedev on Monday. Both players making their ATP Finals debut will look to build on their stellar runs in 2019. Medvedev, who is seeded 4th in the tournament, has a favourable record against his Greek opponent. The Russian has a 5-0 advantage over Tsitsipas, though the games have been very close.

Stefanos Tsitsipas has had a smooth transition from the younger levels to the senior stage. Last year, he had won the NextGen ATP finals and will look to continue his good run after securing his 50th win of the season in the Rolex Paris Masters.  The 21-year-old is the youngest player to be ranked in the Top 10 in the ATP World Rankings. His career-best 5th rank is the highest by a Greek player in Tennis history.
