it was not until his third match in 1790 that he finally beat john.（直到1790年他第三場比賽才打敗john)不知道這里為什么有個not，如果沒有 not覺得也成立！it was until his third match in 1790 that he finally beat john.it was not until...that..... 直到。。。。才為什么要有not

untilconj.[用在否定句中](=before)在...以前; 不到...(不)not until是固定用法,until后面的句子所陳述的事情是前面還沒有實現的.It was not until yesterday that I noticed it.直到昨天我才注意到這件事。(也可以不加not,但前后還是有所對比的事情)He waited until the volcano became quiet.他一直等到火山平息下來,上述的句子不用not是不可以表達相同意思的.
