LONDON<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Fourth seed Daniil Medvedev came from one set down to edge world No. 3 Dominic Thiem to claim his first ATP Finals victory here on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Just as he did in Saturday’s semifinal where he came from one set down to knock out world No. 2 Rafael Nadal, Russia’s Medvedev showed great resilience in beating Thiem 4-6, 7-6 (2), 6-4 in the final.<\/p>\n

“It can give me a lot for my future career, I mean, to beat Dominic the way he played today is probably the best victory of my life. Not even talking about the title itself,” said the 24-year-old, who had lost all three group matches in last year’s ATP Finals.<\/p>\n

Earlier in this year’s group stage, Medvedev had defeated world No. 1 Novak Djokovic in straight sets, meaning the Russian defeated the year-ending tournament’s top three seeds.<\/p>\n

“It means a lot. It shows what I’m capable of when I’m feeling good mentally and physically,” said Medvedev.<\/p>\n

After 12 years in London, the ATP (Association of Tennis Professionals) Finals will be staged in Turin, Italy beginning next year.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
