The 2019 winner Alexander Zverev will play in his third semi-final at the ATP Tour Finals. Notably, Zverev lost to Djokovic in last year’s edition when they were in the same group. However, this year Zverev beat the world number one in the Olympics’ semi-finals in return the German lost three times.
In the round-robin stage, Zverev beat Berrettini who retired after one set. In his second match, the world number three lost to Medvedev in three sets. Consequently, Zverev needed to beat Hurkacz in his final match which he did in straight sets. Surely it will be a tough match for Zverev but the German looks determined to go far in this tournament.

Novak Djokovic displaying the most consistency
The world number one looked invincible in the round-robin stage of the ATP Tour Finals. In fact, the Serb settled to finish at the first spot after two matches without losing a set. As he reaches his ninth semi-final, Djokovic is looking for a record-tying sixth title win. Surely after missing the chance of winning the Grand Slam when he lost at the US Open, Djokovic will fancy a win here.
Remarkably, despite all his success this season, still 2021 was not Djokovic’s best season. Moreover, the Serb looks like the most consistent player in Turin. Certainly, Novak’s experience will be a key factor in this match as he is the best player in the world in winning crucial points in a match.
