second mystery,
after the first double fault of the game. By Djokovic.
Both. Djokovic is very good in the face of adversity. Control the point with composure, invading the court until he finishes at will at the foot of the net.
HIT TWO BREAK BALLS.
30-40 Runes. Djokovic raised the first break point from a first serve which allowed him to take the initiative on the point. There is still a burning ball left.
15-40 Rune, TWO BREAK BALLS. The Dane has already defeated Djokovic in Paris 2022 and Rome 2023. Although he lost recently in Paris, he did so in three sets. “I’m not afraid of Djokovic, I want to play against him,” he said in Turin.
15-30 Rune, another oddity left. He went for Djokovic’s second serve with determination and success. Very, very deep return, which Serbian ‘eats’.
Order the Hawkeye Rune. Djokovic’s ball hit the tape and also hit the line.
Score for Serbian, 15-15.
Novak Djokovic – Holger Rune 2-2
I play 15 of Rune. No mistakes so far. Determined, go for the point without thinking twice.
40-15 Runes.
Third ace, second in a row.
Hawkeye’s first request. Through Runes. He is right. Go through the line.
ACE OF RUNES, 30-15.
0-15 Djokovic. POINT. Backhand passing that goes straight down the line. magic

Novak Djokovic – Holger Rune 2-1
I play 15 Djokovic, which is his entire team in Turin. His first coach reappeared,
Goran Ivanisevic. In Paris there are only Spaniards
Carlos Gómez Herrera.
40-15 Djokovic. Rune finds another outstanding win. He is determined to punish any ball he deems attackable. The Dane is ready for all or nothing.
40-0 Djokovic,
seven points in a row on his serve.
Novak Djokovic – Holger Rune 1-1
Rune is off to a great start. I play at 15,
which he sealed with the first ace of the match.
40-15 Runes. He serves very well. He misses a parallel right hand on the wrong foot. It doesn’t close the game even if everyone is in favor.
30-0 Rune entered with a decision inappropriate for a debutant. Although the Dane is known for its self-confidence, it can sometimes be too much
Novak Djokovic – Holger Rune 1-0
Neither 0-30 nor the Dane’s aggressiveness made Djokovic doubt. He improved his first serve level, chaining four points to win the game at 30.
The confidence of a player who has 18 consecutive victories, that feels allied to success.
40-30 Djokovic, third point in a row. Rune aimed, but missed the volley. His coach, the German, has been applauding for weeks
Boris Becker Djokovic’s ex, with whom he worked for three years.
15-30 Runes. Djokovic used the first serve, wide open, to start the scoring.
0-30 Runes. It started electric, very aggressive.
0-15 Rune, won the break entry. Aggressive, trying to intimidate.
Novak Djokovic – Holger Rune 0-0
The second game of the Green Group is about to begin. The first was won by Jannik Sinner: against Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-4 and 6-4.
Djokovic serves, while Rune decides after winning the draw.
A record of contrast
Novak Djokovic is playing in his sixteenth Masters Final, with a record of 46 games won and 17 lost. Champion six times.
Holger Rune is making his 20-year-old debut at this ATP Finals.
Two minutes, and the game begins.
Holger Rune won the toss and elected to subtract. It will start by taking on the current champion, a Novak Djokovic who has won his five matches in the 2022 edition. It will be held in Turin for the third year.
They entered the track
Holger Runewho made his debut in a Masters Final after being a reserve in 2022, and the six-time champion
Novak Djokovic, who needs a tournament victory to become number one on the year for the eighth time in his career. CURRENT CHAMPION.

A match that repeats itself a few days later
Novak Djokovic defeated Holger Rune in the previous tournament, in the quarterfinals
