Novak Djokovic secured a place in the semi-finals of the ATP Finals by defeating Hubert Hurkacz with a score of 7-6 (1), 4-6, 6-1. However, his fate was uncertain until Jannik Sinner defeated Holger Rune. If Rune had won, he would have advanced ahead of Djokovic, the current defending champion and world No 1. But Sinner proved to be too dominant on his home turf in Turin, adding to his impressive win over Djokovic earlier in the tournament.
