Djokovic stands in defensive mode after defeat against Sinner

Following his defeat to the young Italian player, Novak Djokovic explained what happened. Speaking on his performance, Djokovic said, “It’s normal to lose some of the matches like this, but I have to be content with the fight, the fighting spirit.”

The defending champion has won one match and lost one match in the ATP Finals group stage, making it challenging to advance. If Novak Djokovic beats Hubert Hurkacz in 2 sets, Djokovic is mathematically guaranteed to make the semifinal, irrespective of what happens in the other match.

Securing a 2-1 record for the week is strategically significant for Djokovic, so winning his next match against Hurkacz is important. A major victory would increase his chances of making it to the semifinals and reassure the fans of his stable form. As Djoker now stands in a doubtful situation, fans look forward to his upcoming match against Tsitsipas’ alternative, Hubert Hurkacz.
