Novak Djokovic still doesn't let anything burn at the ATP Finals in Turin. After his opening success against Stefanos Tsitsipas, Djokovic also prevailed against Andrey Rublev in two sets, winning 6: 4 and 6: 1. The record champion secured his place in the semi-finals before his last group game against Daniil Medvedev. Rublev has to deliver again after his dramatic opening success on Friday against Tsitsipas.
The match started evenly, with both players dominating their service games with their serves. When the score was 4: 5, however, Djokovic had a break chance - and the man from Belgrade used it with a return down the line. In the second act, the break to make it 2-0 was enough to break Rublev's resistance.
