Turin, Italy: Novak Djokovic has maintained his winning run at the ATP Finals by defeating Daniil Medvedev in Turin. The Serbian tennis player has already taken first place in the Red Group, but he still tried hard to win over Daniil Medvedev in three hours and eleven minutes.
Djokovic will face American Taylor Fritz in the semi-finals while Medvedev leaves the group stage after losing all three of his games.
I started off very well, had my chances early in the second. He just played very well in those decisive moments. I didn’t feel physically so well in the third set to be honest, I struggled a lot staying physically there. This match against one of the greatest rivals I have today was very important, regardless of the fact I’d qualified already and I really wanted to win.
Novak Djokovic shared.
Andrey Rublev has also qualified for the Turin ATP’s final four by defeating Stefanos Tsitsipas (3-6, 6-3, 6-2) after falling behind a set.
With the victory, Rublev topped Tsitsipas in the Red Group and moved up to second place behind Novak Djokovic.
Rublev, after being qualified as the Red Group runner-up, will face Norway’s Casper Ruud in semi-finals.
In the meanwhile, Neal Skupski from Britain and Wesley Koolhof from the Netherlands, who earlier defeated Ivan Dodig and Austin Krajicek (7-5, 4-6, and 10-6), will face Joe Salisbury of Great Britain and American Rajeev Ram in the semi-finals.
