Athletistic will broadcast a live text online: Tennis. ATP tournament final. Semi final. Alcaraz – Djokovic. Direct
Djokovic started the group stage with a three-set victory over Holger Rune. He was then beaten in three sets by Jannik Sinner, making his final group match against Hubert Hurkacs crucial.
Both played their serves quite well in the first set, as neither came close to break point. Djokovic took the lead in the ensuing tiebreak and ended up losing just one rally. The Serb’s poor serve cost him the second set as Hurkacz took advantage of his errors to level the score.
But Djokovic then finished the match in spectacular fashion by defeating the Pole in the third game – 7-6 (1), 4-6, 6-1. Since Novak won in three sets, his fate also depended on Sinner beating Rune, which he did.
Alcaraz’s debut in Turin started on a sad note: he lost to Alexander Zverev in his first match. The Spaniard returned to action by defeating Andrey Rublev and faced Daniil Medvedev in the third round.
Alcaraz almost immediately lost his serve in the first set, but eventually fended off a few break points.
He then got a break in the seventh game to go up 4-3. The Spaniard took his serve calmly and won the first set.
Alcaraz did not take his foot off the pedal in the second set. Her perseverance allowed her to win the final three games of the match for a 6-4, 6-4 victory.
Before that, the tennis players met four times and in personal meetings the score was equal to 2-2. Djokovic won his previous match at the 2023 Cincinnati Masters in three sets.
