Yannick Sinner had the opportunity to send Novak Djokovic home in the group stage. He did not, and now he will meet the ATP leader in the final of the Champions Tour 2023. The Italian defeated the Serb just a few days ago, but Nole clearly has a well-thought-out plan for the revenge.

• The fight between Novak Djokovic and Yannick Sinner will take place on Sunday, November 19, from 19:00. The live broadcast will be on Eurosport 2.

Sinner won his first victory over Djokovic at the Tournament of Champions in Turin. It was a grueling and electrifying match that lasted three hours and 10 minutes: 7-5, 6-7(5), 7-6(2) for Yannick.

Coached by Darren Cahill, Sinner could have sent Nole home from the group stage.

But he lived up to his mantle by defeating Holger Rune and keeping the Joker “alive” in the end-of-season competition.

The Serb received the gift with open arms and easily defeated Carlos Alcaraz 6-3, 6-2 in the semi-finals.

So the moment has come for the reunion of Sinner and Djokovic, such an interesting clash of generations (the Italian is 22 years old, and the Serbian will turn 37 in the spring).
