Taylor Fritz benefited from a questionable serving decision by Daniil Medvedev and frustrated his opponent so much that the Russian broke 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.

The 2024 ATP Finals kicked off with a highly anticipated match between four-seed Daniil Medvedev and five-seed Taylor Fritz. Medvedev has not played his best tennis as of late, and his frustration continues to grow more visible.

Fritz defeated Medvedev in straight sets in Turin, although the American’s victory was overshadowed by the Russian’s behaviour.
