Jannik Sinner found himself on the receiving end of Djokovic’s latest masterclass, having previously secured a victory in their round-robin encounter earlier in the event.
Djokovic recognized his vulnerabilities following Sinner’s previous win, acknowledging that “in the important points, he was going for it, he was more courageous… I learned that in some moments I have to be a bit more decisive”.
This is where the tennis professor shines. No one has ever defeated Djokovic twice in the same tournament. Djokovic started this rematch with a resounding service hold, a harbinger of the astonishing performance in store. It was an incredible showcase of talent and skill, further cementing his legacy as one of the greatest athletes in tennis history.
It wasn’t just the serve that overwhelmed Sinner. Djokovic also showcased his dominance in the return game, pushing the limits of his skills and leaving the crowd astounded by his unmatched talent. The winning margin of 6-3, 6-3 reaffirmed Djokovic’s position as an unstoppable force within the sport.
Djokovic’s comfort and authority on the court were evident throughout the match and are sure to solidify his standing as one of the sport’s immortal legends, with his extraordinary record-setting win in the ATP Finals.
The British duo of Joe Salisbury and his American partner Rajeev Ram also celebrated a momentous victory at the event. Salisbury claimed the doubles title, marking a significant milestone in his enduring partnership with Ram. Despite their joyous triumph, their celebrations will be cut short as they prepare to face off against Djokovic in the upcoming matches.
