Novak Djokovic has already qualified for the semi-finals and will face Alexander Zverev on Saturday. Before that he has his final group match against Britain's Cameron Norrie. His opponent came in as an alternate after the withdrawal of Stefanos Tsitsipas. He lost to Casper Ruud and can't qualify for the semi-finals, even if winning this match. It all sounds like a rather meaningless match but not so when you look at how much money is available. Winning this match sees the victor receive $173,000, it really is a money crazy event and really a bit of a perk for the successful players. 

Djokovic has had two wins this week to clinch his place in the semi-finals. He has had a bit of a break in the second half of this year and only returned for the Paris Masters, which he won. It's a schedule that makes sense after some injuries. His freshness is paying dividends, he may have won this title five times but not since 2015. No sign this week of him playing a final singles tournament when being a bit jaded. Cameron Norrie lost his first match to Casper Ruud after winning the first set. Playing two matches will see him earn $129,750 even if he loses them both, another $173,000 would come in handy. He's made big strides this year and this is his first ever match against Djokovic. The world number one will want this match out of the way as soon as possible. Back him to win the match in straight sets.
