Certain of ending the year world number 1 after his victory on Sunday against Holger Rune, Novak Djokovic challenges local hope Jannik Sinner this Tuesday evening at the ATP Finals. The winner of the clash will be guaranteed to see the semi-finals of the Masters.
What a shock on the agenda to end this third day of the Nitto ATP Finals! After a first singles match between Stefanos Tsitsipas and Holger Rune earlier this Tuesday, the hope of Italian tennis Jannik Sinner will challenge the Serbian assured of finishing the season world number 1, Novak Djokovic. While the two men respectively won their first match against Stefanos Tsitsipas (6/4 6/4) for the Transalpine and Holger Rune (7/6 6/7 6/3) for the Serbian, the winner of this gala poster this evening will already qualify for the semi-finals of the Masters where he will face one of the four players from the Green Group (Daniil Medvedev, Alexander Zverev, Carlos Alcaraz or Andrey Rublev). A superb confrontation to follow at the Pala Alpitour in Turin which will be led by the Frenchwoman Aurélie Tourte.
For his second match in this tournament between the eight best players of the season, the attitude of Novak Djokovic will be observed. Indeed, during his first match against Holger Rune, the Serb got angry after the loss of the second set before breaking two rackets to vent his frustration. A behavior for which Nole justified himself at a press conference: “Some say that I do this in a pragmatic way, that it allows me to release tension and frustration in order to move forward better. That may have been the case. But I don’t encourage anyone to act like that. I’m not not happy I did it, but I did it and I take responsibility for it. Yes, sometimes in the past I did it and it freed me. But I think that There are smarter ways to release tension than breaking a racket.”
For his part, Jannik Sinner easily won in two rounds against the Greek Tsitsipas (6/4 6/4) with a warm audience, won over to his cause. After his victory, the local returned to the atmosphere during the meeting: “It’s nice. It means that people like tennis, not just me. Tennis is becoming very popular in Italy. Before, it was like there was only one sport. But tennis is progressing quickly and it’s good to be part of it all. It was very, very nice. It’s a great pleasure to play here, in Turin, in Italy. Of course, there is a bit of pressure, but I managed it well. And I played well, which is the most important thing. It was like football. Plus, indoors it resonates well. It’s nice. That probably means that people in have something to do with me.”
