Novak Djokovic Wins At The ATP Finals Semifinal

Novak Djokovic said he utilized his experiences from last year as motivation for this one after defeating Carlos Alcaraz in the ATP Finals semi-finals to secure his spot in the Turin final against Jannik Sinner on Sunday.

Djokovic defeated the Spanish player 6-3, 6-2 in the final four, setting up a rematch with Sinner after he lost to the Italian in the group stages.

Djokovic finished 2023 as the world’s top seed, having won the US, Australian, and French Opens, and was only defeated by Alcaraz in the Wimbledon final.

Djokovic said in his post-match press conference: “I guess last year’s circumstances I used as fuel for this year. I had an almost perfect season in 2023—the Grand Slam season. That mattered the most to me. I ended the year as #1 in the world, reached all the objectives that I had, broke many records, and made history in the sport. Of course, I’m thrilled with the season. But there is one more match to go. Hopefully, I can crown the season with another win.”

Djokovic further added after playing with Alcaraz in the semifinal: “It was one of the best matches of the year in these circumstances, playing probably the biggest rival I had this year, Carlos. We had some epic matches. Actually, all three matches we played this year were marathon matches that went the distance. I think everyone expected, including probably both of us, that we were going to have a long night, a big fight, a long match.”
