Novak Djokovic vs Jannik Sinner latest score and updates

Novak Djokovic bids for a record seventh ATP Finals title in a blockbuster showpiece against home favourite Jannik Sinner in Turin.

Djokovic secured an emphatic victory over young rival Carlos Alcaraz in the semi-finals on Saturday and is now out for revenge against the 22-year-old Italian Sinner, who defeated the World No 1 in the group stages earlier this week.

Sinner has been in red-hot form in front of his home fans in Turin and is looking to win the biggest title of his career at the season-ending tournament. He beat Daniil Medvedev in the semi-finals to continue his winning streak this week.

Djokovic, meanwhile, is targeting a record victory at the ATP Finals after a dominant season which has already seen the Serbian win three grand slam titles and secure the year-end World No 1 ranking.

ATP Finals: Djokovic 6-3 2-0 Sinner*

18:03 , Jamie Braidwood

Just. Too. Good.

Two aces in a row from Djokovic – out wide on either side – as he wraps up his opening service game to love.

That’s eight points in a row to start the second set…

ATP Finals: *Djokovic 6-3 1-0 Sinner

18:00 , Jamie Braidwood

The pressure from Djokovic is unrelenting as he jumps into a 0-30 lead on Sinner’s serve.

From there, Djokovic simply does not miss. He produces outstanding depth to the baseline and Sinner challenges in vain after Djokovic clips the baseline.

Another long rally – and Djokovic does not blink. He breaks to love to start the second set. Ominous.

ATP Finals: Djokovic 6-3 Sinner* – Djokovic wins the first set!

17:53 , Jamie Braidwood

Djokovic roars on the opening point and pumps his fist after Sinner goes long at the end of a brutal baseline rally… the home fans don’t like that.

Another fist pump from Djokovic, this time as he lands an ace out wide. Djokovic stares the crowd down…

That’s wild from Sinner on the backhand return – miles out – it brings up three set points for Djokovic.

Sinner pushes wide!

Djokovic has tamed the Italian and the Turin crowd so far. Long way back for Sinner here.

ATP Finals: *Djokovic 5-3 Sinner

17:48 , Jamie Braidwood

Sinner forces Djokovic to serve it out.

Given Djokovic has barely dropped a point on serve through this first set, it would either be a total collapse from the World No 1 or something rather special from the young Italian.

ATP Finals: Djokovic 5-2 Sinner*

17:44 , Jamie Braidwood

A hold to love for Djokovic, sealed as Sinner struggles to deal with Djokovic’s sliced serve up the T.

This has been a real statement from the Serbian so far, to add to that spellbinding win over Carlos Alcaraz yesterday.

ATP Finals: *Djokovic 4-2 Sinner

17:41 , Jamie Braidwood

That should settle Sinner slightly. He holds to 15 after landing a couple of big first-serve and squeezing out a rare error from Djokovic, this one on the backhand side.

Djokovic is in pole position to close out the first set from here, though.

ATP Finals: Djokovic 4-1 Sinner*

17:37 , Jamie Braidwood

Utterly imposing from Djokovic – behind the serve and *that* forehand. Sinner nets after Djokovic finds a sublime angle with the forehand crosscourt and the No 1 takes the hold.

“Virtually unplayable,” says Tim Henman on Amazon Prime.

ATP Finals: *Djokovic 3-1 Sinner

17:34 , Jamie Braidwood

Djokovic breaks!

Advantage to the No 1 and how Sinner would want this back! He is called long on a forehand that actually caught the line, but Sinner doesn’t challenge and then Djokovic forces another forehand error from Sinner.

The 36-year-old is just blasting the ball around the court at the moment and has really brought the level up against Sinner.

ATP Finals: Djokovic 2-1 Sinner*

17:30 , Jamie Braidwood

Djokovic unloads on a forehand winner from the middle of the baseline and crushes it past Sinner at over 85mph.

Sinner responds with a beautiful drop shot from inside the baseline – that’s a skill he has developed over the season.

Djokovic beats Sinner with an excellent backhand lob – and then Sinner whacks a forehand into the net, looking for the line.

Deuce…

ATP Finals: Djokovic 2-1 Sinner*

17:25 , Jamie Braidwood

Djokovic is up to four aces already and gets a comfortable hold as Sinner pushes his backhand return wide on 40-15. Djokovic against the home crowd will be an interesting sub-plot today.

ATP Finals: *Djokovic 1-1 Sinner

17:21 , Jamie Braidwood

More of this please! Sinner wins the first point on serve after a brilliant rally against Djokovic, which he took control of thanks to a stunning angled forehand crosscourt.

Sinner takes his opening hold after a game of cat-and-mouse with Djokovic at the net, lovely touch from the Italian and he gets on the board.

Wonderful noise – and some great hitting already.

ATP Finals: Djokovic 1-0 Sinner*

17:17 , Jamie Braidwood

Djokovic holds to love behind a couple of clean aces and imposing forehands. The perfect start from the World No 1, who is out for revenge as well as history tonight.

ATP Finals: *Djokovic 0-0 Sinner

Jannik Sinner has been the in-form at the ATP Finals this week, and has won his last seven matches against top-ten opponents.

But beating the World No 1 twice in a row? At the same tournament? It’s unheard of. But Sinner has the huge advantage of playing in front of his home fans tonight.

He’s been red-hot this week.

Jannik Sinner on playing in the ATP Finals final: “It doesn’t really matter the matches before, how they have been. Especially with this format, you can win against one, but after you can lose. It’s different. But still happy that I can go one more time on the court here in Turin. Good atmosphere. Hopefully I can show some good tennis.”

Novak Djokovic on Jannik Sinner: “He has been the best player of the tournament so far. Won four out of four matches and played some great tennis. Obviously riding on the big wave of support of his Italian crowd here.

“He’s going for his first trophy. I’m going for my seventh in the year-end World Tour Finals. I’ve been in these situations before. Hopefully experience can help a bit.

“But I don’t think it’s going to prevail because he’s been playing well, he’s going to have the crowd on his side. I know what I expect. I think having already a match against him in this kind of atmosphere helps me prepare better.”

Novak Djokovic said he is hoping to put the cherry on top of a successful 2023 season with a record seventh ATP Finals title, after the world number one beat Carlos Alcaraz in the semi-final to set up a showdown with Jannik Sinner.

Djokovic has won the Australian Open, French Open and U.S. Open this year to take his tally up to 24 Grand Slam titles and overtake rival Rafa Nadal. He also surpassed Steffi Graf’s record for the most weeks as world number one.

“I had an almost perfect season, Grand Slam season,” Djokovic told reporters after his 6-3 6-2 win over Alcaraz on Saturday.

“Ended the year as number one in the world, reached really all the objectives that I had, broke many records, made history of the sport. Of course, I’m thrilled with the season.

“But one more match to go. Hopefully I can crown the season with another win.”
