Alex de Minaur's ATP Finals debut appears to have come to a brutal end with a match still to play after being blown off court by a rejuvenated Daniil Medvedev.
The Russian, who said he was looking forward to the season being over after succumbing to a tantrum during his opening round defeat to Taylor Fritz, brushed aside the Australian No.1 6-2 6-4 in 78 minutes of high-octane tennis.
De Minaur did not play badly, he was simply barely allowed to play at all with Medvedev hitting 24 winners and dropping two points on serve in the second set.
