Daniil Medvedev was able to “block the noise” following a temper tantrum in his previous match and moved back into contention at the ATP Finals with a 6-2, 6-4 victory over Alex de Minaur on Tuesday. The Russian didn’t face a single break point and was generally much sharper than in his straight-set loss to Taylor Fritz on Sunday — during which he smashed his racket and lost his cool twice. When the match was over, Medvedev closed his eyes and held his fingers to his ears.
