The big day has arrived: today, Sunday 19 November, Jannik Sinner (22) and Novak Djokovic (36) will play the grand final of the 2023 ATP Finals, the second in the ranking in terms of age gap between the players.
The tournament, among the most important and long-lived in the field of tennis at an international level, will be hosted by the city of Turin until 2025.
Thus, Jannik Sinner will play the match at home, having to deal with the high expectations it has generated so far with continued successes.
Sinner is also the first Italian to reach the final of the ATP Finals in 54 years and at the end of the semi-final he spoke about the anticipation that is generated for this, but appreciating the warmth of the fans: "the wave of affection from the people is really a very strong push, it means a lot to me" he declared.
Furthermore, Sinner is preparing to clash with Novak Djokovic, officially the number 1 in the world, counting 400 weeks (minus 1 day) at the top in his career.
The Serbian player won the semi-final against Carlos Alcaraz, currently the youngest tennis player in the world in the ATP rankings.
Jannik Sinner is preparing for his ninth career final at the ATP Finals and could add another victory to the 6 he already holds, surpassing – for these titles – even Roger Federer.
In short, this final has all the cards in play to mark the history of tennis and the trepidation is now sky high.
