Novak Djokovic takes on Daniil Medvedev in the Red Group of the ATP Tour Finals. The Serb has already qualified for the semi-finals, while his opponent is out of the tournament after two losses. Djokovic has beaten Stefanos Tsitsipas and Andrey Rublev in Turin this week. He's won both those matches without dropping a set, losing only five games against Rublev. Djokovic is bidding to equal Roger Federer's record of six titles in this tournament. He's been stuck on five since 2015 and last reached the final four years ago. He began this tournament ranked eighh in the world (like there are seven players better than him)  and will move up to seventh if winning this match and Rublev loses to Tsitsipas.

Daniil Medvedev won this title in 2020 and lost in the final last year. However, two losses in this group have seen him knocked out in the round-robin stages for only the second time. He's only won two titles this year but did spend some time as the world number one. He's down to sixth now but could move up to fifth if beating Djokovic and Auger-Aliassime loses to Fritz. Medvedev trails Djokovic 7-4 in previous meetings. Djokovic has won three of the last four, the most recent win being in Astana when it was one-set all and Medvedev retired with an injury. Djokovic may well have qualified already but there's still a lot of money to be won for winning this match and he's not the sort to want to lose any match. Back him to win this match.
