Chatting with Sky Sports activities, he stated, “Sinner is the big favorite at the ATP Finals in Turin, also because Alcaraz still has to convince me indoors. His level is very high outdoors, but when he plays indoors he suffers. In Turin he suffered a lot last year, especially from a mental point of view. Let’s see if things will change. If we want to look for someone who is closer to Jannik, I would say Alexander Zverev. But Jannik, without a doubt, is the big favorite.”

This is a time when he’s aiming to win important tournaments and not to climb the rankings. To climb the rankings you have to play more, but he’s not physically and mentally ready for this now. In Shanghai, however, he showed us that when he decides to play, he’s the one who can worry the best. I doubt he’ll play the Finals, but next year he’ll try again.”
Djokovic is the defending ATP Finals champion. However this yr he didn’t win any Grand Slam title, solely profitable Olympic gold in Paris. Age appears to be an element for the Serbian, and he’ll hope to bounce again and problem the likes of Alcaraz and Sinner subsequent yr.
