Novak Djokovic won a 3-hour match against Holger Rune at the ATP Finals. However, the encounter was not so smooth for the world’s number one since his opponent was in excellent form. Novak could not refrain from destroying a couple of rockets when he was struggling with his nerves in the third set. Novak later admitted he was not proud of that.
