He’s been playing fantastic tennis... Arguably the best tennis of his life, on this stage against top 10 players. We played 7-6 in the third. A very close match the other night. The atmosphere was unbelievable, electric, obviously. I don’t expect anything less than that.Djokovic during the on-court interview
Earlier in the round-robin matches, Sinner had ended Djokovic’s 19-match winning streak to find himself as the table topper. He beat the Serb 7-5,6(5)-7,7-6(2) in 3 nerve-wracking sets and looks to generate that same momentum heading into the finals.
