The student chases the teacher
Forehand: very grown but Djokovic has more variations
Backhand: For Jannik, the natural shot
Service: record percentages for Sinner in Vienna
Net game: Djokovic zero gaps
Physique: Djoker’s obsession, Sinner’s 4 kg more muscle
Mind: tennis as meditation, Djokovic wins (also) like this
Tomorrow, Thursday 16 November, the last two matches are scheduled: Sinner-Rune and Djokovic-Hurkacz (who takes over Tsitsipas with no chance of qualifying). If the Italian wins, he goes to the semi-final as top of the group. If he were to lose 2-0, and at the same time Djokovic beat the Pole with the same score, Sinner, Djokovic and Rune would find themselves with two victories each and an even set quotient (4 won, 3 lost): in that case the game quotient would take over . The South Tyrolean can instead qualify independently of the other match by losing in three sets, but without losing more than 4 games.
If Djokovic instead gave up at least one set to Hurkacz, there would be no problems and the Italian and Danish would advance.
In any case, Jannik will play in the evening, already knowing the result of the afternoon match.
Green group ranking (victories-sets won-sets lost): Sinner 2 (4-1), Djokovic 1 (3-3), Rune 1 (3-2), Tsitsipas/Hurkacz 0 (0-4).
