Russia's Daniil Medvedev cracked a broad, winning smile after edging Germany's Alexander Zverev 6-3, 6-7, 7-6 in a tense ATP finals encounter on Tuesday.

The pale and serious looking Medvedev missed two match points after struggling from 4-2 down to 6-4 up in what was a see-saw final tie break that he described post-match as amazing.

"I wanted to do something brave at 6-5," he said allowing himself to smile of his double slip. "But that was a match to remember, just amazing," said Medvedev, who beat Poland's Hubert Hurkacz in his opening round robin encounter.
