Diego Schwartzman

The world No. 9 is now just one win away from claiming his first trip to the season-ending ATP Finals. Schwartzman dismissed Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, 6-1, 6-1, in just 61 minutes. The 28-year-old will try to crack Medvedev's spotless record against him, with the Russian winning a tense three-setter at January's ATP Cup.
