An eighth final in fifteen participations. Tennis player Novak Djokovic qualified on Saturday in Turin for his eighth Masters final by beating American Taylor Fritz (9th) who was playing this tournament for the first time, 7-6 (7/5), 7-6 (8 /6).
The 35-year-old Serb, 8th in the world, will try Sunday against Andrey Rublev (7th) or Casper Ruud (4th) to equal the record of six titles in this tournament bringing together the eight best players of the season, held by Roger Federer. He will also aim for his second major title of the year, after Wimbledon, having missed a significant part of the season (including the Australian Open and the US Open) for his refusal of the anti-covid vaccine.
