Former champ Medvedev ramps up Nitto ATP Finals preparations

Posted: Nov 07, 2024

Arrived and ready to go, former Nitto ATP Finals champion Daniil Medvedev ramped up his preparations for the prestigious year-end event on Thursday when he hit on centre court at the Inalpi Arena.

The No. 4 player in the PIF ATP Rankings looked in relaxed mood in Turin, where he practised with Norwegian 18-year-old Nicolai Budkov Kjaer in front of a crowd of Italian youngsters.

Medvedev triumphed at the Nitto ATP Finals in 2020 and is making his sixth consecutive appearance at the event. The 28-year-old arrives in Turin holding a 45-19 record on the season.

Also on Thursday, Italian star Jannik Sinner continued to adjust to the conditions when he hit with American sparring partner Andres Martin. After a period of play, Sinner and Martin shared thoughts at the net, with the Italian offering advice to the American.
