Novak Djokovic’s victory over Holger Rune at the ATP Finals was marked by a fiery moment as the World No.1 smashed two racquets in frustration. Although he secured the year-end top ranking with a 7-6 (7-4) 6-7 (1-7) 6-3 win over Rune, Djokovic’s outburst drew attention.
After losing the second set, Djokovic vented his frustration by breaking two racquets on the court. However, the outburst seemed to take some of the tension off Djokovic, allowing him to gain the decisive break in the following game and eventually secure the win.
During the post-match press conference, Djokovic expressed regret over the incident, acknowledging that although some people view such outbursts as a way to release tension and frustration, he does not condone such behavior. Despite his regret, Djokovic is eyeing an eighth career title at the ATP Finals and is currently on a 19-match winning streak.
On the other hand, Jannik Sinner had a successful start at the tournament, defeating Stefanos Tsitsipas in a convincing 6-4 6-4 win. Playing in front of his home crowd, Sinner expressed excitement about playing in the tournament and answered questions about his performance.
