World No. 3 Daniil Medvedev clinically dispatched his good friend Andrey Rublev 6-4, 6-2 in their ATP Finals 2023 clash in Turin on Monday. Medvedev cranked out 10 aces to Rublev's two to improve to 7-2 in his career against Rublev, who is the godfather of his one-year-old daughter. Rublev beat Medvedev in a third-set tiebreaker in the opening round-robin match a year ago. Medvedev was so overpowering on Monday that Rublev fell to the ground while at the net late in the second set as he attempted to fend off his friend's heavy groundstrokes — then covered his face with his hands in despair. Medvedev, who won this tournament in 2020 when it was in London, also reached the 2021 final in Turin.
