Right now, the Nitto ATP finals (taking place at the Pala Alpitour stadium in Turin, Italy) are still in the round robin Group Stage. Djokovic won his first match against Casper Ruud, 7-6(4) 6-2, and looks to take this match to make sure he's at the top of the Green Group.
Djokovic was the runner-up to Alexander Zverev in 2018's ATP Finals, and won it in four consecutive years from 2012 to 2015. Daniil Medvedev, the defending champion of singles play at the ATP finals, won both of his previous matches in three-sets per game: 6-3 6-7(3) 7-6(6) over Zverev on Nov. 16 and 6-7(5) 6-3 6-4 over Hubert Hurkacz on Nov. 14.
Despite being fixtures in major tournaments, Djokovic and Rublev have never met each other in play until now. Djokovic is favored to win it, though Rublev beat the dangerous Stefanos Tsitsipas in straight sets 6-4 6-4 on Monday. As Caesars Sportsbook has it, Djokovic is -500 to win against +350 for Rublev. The over/under is 21.5.
And so we tune in today — quite early if you're on the West Coast — to see a first time match-up, something still kinda rare when you're dealing with high-ranking established players.
