Sinner Into Nitto ATP Finals SFs; How Can Djokovic Qualify?

Nov162023

Medvedev has already qualified in Red Group

Jannik Sinner qualified for the semi-finals of the Nitto ATP Finals on Thursday when Hubert Hurkacz won the second set of his match against Novak Djokovic. Sinner is the first Italian to reach the last four of the prestigious event.

Djokovic’s semi-final fate is now in Sinner’s hands. If the Italian defeats Holger Rune on Thursday evening, Djokovic will finish second in Green Group and move on. If Rune beats Sinner, the Dane will win the group and the home favourite will qualify second, eliminating Djokovic. The Serbian has not been ousted in Nitto ATP Finals group play since 2019.

In the Red Group, Daniil Medvedev has qualified, but it has not yet been determined if he will finish first or second in the group. Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev both have an opportunity to qualify, while Andrey Rublev has been eliminated from contention.
