To tennis and the ATP Finals, where Rafael Nadal has rallied from a set down to beat Stefanos Tsitsipas in a 6-7, 6-4, 7-5 marathon in Group Andre Agassi; yet the Spaniard’s progression to the semifinals is in doubt. 

In a do or die match for Nadal, he lost the opening set to Tsitsipas in the tie-breaker. In the second, the Spanish superstar served for the set after breaking Tsitsipas in the 9th game.

Nadal rushed to a 40-to-love lead, only for the Greek to respond with 3 set-points in a row, but an ace out wide from Nadal tied the match at 1-all. The Spaniard then broke Tsitsipas in the penultimate game of the decider and finished off the match with another superb service game in less than 3 hours.

Despite winning 2-out-of-3 matches in Group Andre Agassi, Nadal will only make it to the semifinals, if Daniil Medvedev defeats Alexander Zverev.
