At stake is a place in the semi-finals
Apart from the two tennis players who will face each other, Novak Djokovic will also be attentive, since in this duel the two tennis players from the green group who manage to advance to the semifinals will be decided.
How does Holger Rune arrive?
At only 20 years old, Rune is in tenth position in the ATP ranking.
Since he lost in the Wimbledon quarterfinals against Carlos Alcaraz he is having a bad end to the year. He lost both Hopman Cup matches, fell in his first match at the ATP Toronto, retired in the first match in Cincinnati. He fell in the first round of the US Open in four sets. It has not been the best month either in October where he lost in the round of 16 in Beijing and was eliminated in his first duel in Shanghai and Stockholm. In Basel he performed a better role reaching the semi-finals where he failed to beat Auger-Aliassime. He said goodbye to the Masters 1000 in 2023, falling in Paris, precisely in the quarterfinals against Novak Djokovic, precisely his rival in last year's final, in which the Dane lifted the title.
He began the ATP Finals with a loss to Novak Djokovic in three sets, but scored a quick victory against Stefanos Tsitsipas, who retired in the third game of the match.
How does Jannik Sinner arrive?
Excellent 2023 for the 22-year-old Italian who has placed himself in fourth position in the ATP ranking in a year where he has achieved four titles.
The last one was the ATP Vienna in the month of October where he only conceded a single set and it was in the final against Medvedev. He also won in Beijing, although in the last Grand Slam he fell in the round of 16 in a real five-set match against Zverev. The last tournament he played was at the Paris Masters 1000 where he withdrew after finishing his duel against McDonald too late and made the decision not to play against Alex de Minaur the next day.
In the ATP Finals he started with a good feeling after beating Stefanos Tsitsipas in two sets with a double 6-4. On the second day he managed to beat Novak Djokovic for the first time in his life in a 3-set match that lasted more than three hours.
