Surprise in Turin. Jannik Sinner (22, ATP 4) defeated Novak Djokovic (36, ATP 1) after three sets and more than three hours. It is Sinner’s first victory in the fourth match with Djokovic. The Serbian, on the other hand, lost a match on the tour to Carlos Alcaraz (20, ATP 2) for the first time since the defeat at Wimbledon in July.
Sinner takes a big step towards the semi-finals. And Djokovic? He must be shaking. The six-time final winner is now under pressure in his last group match against Polish replacement Hubert Hurkacz (26, ATP 9).
Rune’s lightning victory
Holger Rune (20, ATP 8) is also on course for the semi-finals. Only three games and seventeen minutes have been played and the match between the Dane and Stefanos Tsitsipas (25, ATP 6) is already over. The reason: the Greek has to give up when the score is 1:2. This makes the fans in the stadium angry and they whistle.
Wrongly, as it turns out. Because Tsitsipas doesn’t give up because he doesn’t feel like it, he is plagued by serious physical problems. “I want to apologize to everyone in the audience, but my back left me no other choice,” he says after his short performance. He was very disappointed that he had ended the match this way. “It’s also a shame that I didn’t give up my place to another player who could have at least tried to do something with it,” regrets Tsitsipas.
