Daniil Medvedev rebounded brilliantly from a previous on-court outburst, clinching an authoritative 6-2, 6-4 victory over Alex de Minaur at the ATP Finals on Tuesday. His determination to 'block the noise,' a message he boldly inscribed on a camera lens, was pivotal to his focused performance.

The Russian tennis star, who didn't face any break points during the match, appeared far sharper than in his loss to Taylor Fritz just two days earlier — a match remembered for his racket-smashing frustration. Reflecting on his renewed composure, Medvedev emphasized the merits of staying centered amid both praise and criticism.

As the tournament progresses, Medvedev will meet Jannik Sinner on Thursday, while De Minaur, who struggles for his debut season-ending event win, takes on Fritz. The stakes are high as the top two players from each group advance to the semifinals.
