Meanwhile, coming back to the match, Felix Auger-Aliassime left Rafael Nadal's title hopes at the ATP Finals in tatters as he beat the Spaniard 6-3 6-4 in round-robin action at Turin's Pala Alpitour Stadium on Tuesday.
Now, Mr Nadal, who is the record 22-times Grand Slam champion, has lost four successive ATP Tour matches for the first time since 2009. Mr Auger-Aliassime, on the other hand, has won four titles this season.
In Tuesday's match, he sealed the first set with a solid hold and moved a break ahead early in the second. Mr Nadal showed flashes of brilliance, however, could make no impression as he slumped to defeat.
