Djokovic’s semi-final destiny is now in Sinner’s arms. If the Italian defeats Holger Rune on Thursday night, Djokovic will end second in Inexperienced Group and transfer on. If Rune beats Sinner, the Dane will win the group and the house favorite will qualify second, eliminating Djokovic. The Serbian has not been ousted in Nitto ATP Finals group play since 2019.
