Jannik Sinner in the semifinals of the ATP Finals , even before facing Holger Rune . At 9pm the Italian will challenge the number 8 in the world in Turin, the Danish talent born in 2003 who, with the South Tyrolean and Alcaraz, makes up the "New big three", the trio destined to take up the legacy of Djokovic, Federer and Nadal . But the challenge, for Sinner, is almost irrelevant.
In fact, Djokovic himself already took to the court in the afternoon, beating Hurkacz in a match that turned out to be more complex than expected. The Serbian still prevailed, but conceded a set to his opponent, the second (7-6, 4-6, 6-1).
A failure that risks costing the Serbian dearly, and which simultaneously promotes Sinner to the semi-finals. Now the South Tyrolean can also lose to Rune : if this were to happen, the Dane would qualify first in the group, and the Italian second. If instead Jannik were to win, he would go first, with Nole second. A few hours after the match against Rune, Sinner discovers that he has one more fan: Novak Djokovic.
