TURIN, Italy: Novak Djokovic closed in on a record-breaking seventh ATP Finals title on Saturday after sweeping past Carlos Alcaraz 6-3, 6-2 in a dominating semifinal display he hailed as his best of the tournament.
World No. 1 Djokovic will face home favorite Jannik Sinner on Sunday in the final in Turin, as the 36-year-old attempts to cap an age-defying year with yet another major triumph. “The best match of the tournament for me, without a doubt.
It came at right time really, after spending a lot of hours on the court in the first three matches,” said Djokovic. “Tonight, from the very beginning, I felt the ball well.
I approached the match with the right attitude, the right mentality.” The Serb came into the Finals at the end of a year which has brought three Grand Slams, taking his total to an all-time best of 24, and a 40th Masters 1000 title.
