Preview | 2023 ATP Finals Day Five: DJOKOVIC vs HURKACZ and SINNER vs RUNE decide Green Group qualifiers

Get ready for Day Five of the 2023 ATP Finals happening on Thursday, November 16, at the Pala Alpitour in Turin, Italy. Excitement is brewing as the Green Group comes to a close with Novak Djokovic vs Hubert Hurkacz and Jannik Sinner vs Holger Rune battling it out for their spots in the semi-finals.

The action kicks off with World No. 1 Djokovic taking on first alternate Hurkacz as the latter steps in for Stefanos Tsitsipas, who withdrew from the tournament due to a back injury. Djokovic, after losing to Sinner, is still in the running for a spot in the semi-finals and can secure it by defeating Hurkacz and hoping Sinner beats Rune.

Djokovic is facing an opponent he has dominated in the past, but Hurkacz’s recent form, including a Masters title in Shanghai, presents a challenge. However, with the momentum from his previous matches, the World No. 1 is likely to clinch the win.

Moving on to Sinner vs Rune, the Italian player’s win against Djokovic has put him in a prime position for qualification. A victory over Rune secures his spot, but a defeat could still see him through based on game/set percentages. Both players are strong, but Sinner is expected to come out on top, especially with the support of the home crowd.
