On Wednesday, world No. 7 Andrey Rublev will face 21-time Major champion Novak Djokovic in the group stage of the 2022 ATP Finals. Rublev began his campaign against Daniil Medvedev in the first group match. He took an early break to go up 3-1 and held the lead for a while. The 25-year-old then served for the first set, but was broken. At 6-5, he had a couple of set points on his opponent’s serve but couldn’t convert. Rublev was once again the favourite, leading 6-3, but he blew four match points as Medvedev refused to go down without a fight. The 25-year-old eventually won 6-7 (7), 6-3, 7-6 on his fourth match point (7).
Djokovic began his quest for a sixth ATP Finals title with a match against Stefanos Tsitsipas. He broke the Greek’s serve in the first game, and the advantage was more than enough for him to win the first set. Tsitsipas played a little better in the second set, but he was no match for Djokovic. The pair remained unshakeable on serve as the set progressed to a tie-break, which the Serb won to win the match 6-4, 7-6. (4).
