Prediction 

Eighth-ranked Novak Djokovic won all three of his round-robin matches at the ATP Finals, dispatching Stefanos Tsitsipas and Andrey Rublev in straight sets before prevailing in a nail-biting three-set match on Friday against Daniil Medvedev. The 35-year-old’s most recent victory was in 2015, and he needs two more to tie Roger Federer’s six-title ATP Finals record. However, Djokovic won three Wimbledon titles in a row this summer, bringing his total to four ATP Finals victories in a row from 2012 to 2015.

On the other hand, on Thursday, the ninth-ranked player in the world defeated Felix Auger-Aliassime in three close sets to advance to the final two matches on his ATP Finals debut. The 25-year-old only played in Turin because World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz suddenly withdrew, but the American seized the chance, defeating Rafael Nadal in his opening match and narrowly falling short of Casper Ruud in three sets. Fritz won the first Masters title of his career at Indian Wells in March, defeating Nadal in the process. However, the Spaniard ended Fritz’s best season by defeating him in a five-set thriller in the Wimbledon quarterfinals.

Taylor Fritz had a slim chance of making it to the semi-finals in his ATP Finals debut after barely making it out of qualifying, but the more unexpected way to do it was by defeating Felix Auger-Aliassime in three sets. The 25-year-old has lost all five of his prior encounters with Novak Djokovic, but the two did play in a memorable five-set match at the Australian Open in January of last year, which saw the ebullient American leave the court in a wheelchair.

Simply, Novak Djokovic appears to be a strong favourite to win a record-tying sixth ATP Finals championship on Sunday. In contrast to the final, the Serb is much more prone to make a mistake now. Djokovic has triumphed in straight sets in four of their five meetings, but this is Fritz’ finest season so far and they haven’t played in a while, so it might not be as close as it seems. With Djokovic as the clear favorite, think about including at least a tiebreak.
