Novak Djokovic (ATP rank: 1) – Alexander Zverev (7): 9:00 p.m., 11/20, last round of the group stage
Novak Dkokovic has the opportunity to decide soon the semi-finals of the 2020 ATP Finals. However, the Serbian player handed the early ticket to Daniil Medvedev, with a quick 0-2 defeat to the Russian opponent. And now, Djokovic and Alexander Zverev have to play a decisive battle to see who will join Medvedev in the semi-finals of the London tournament.

This was the period when neither Djokovic nor Zverev were in good shape. At the Vienna Open, “Nole” lost to Sonego. At the 2020 ATP Finals, he lost to Medvedev. An “undefeated” Djokovic throughout the final years of 2020 seems to have disappeared. And if you can’t win the 2020 ATP Finals, it will be a huge disappointment for the world’s # 1 player.
Alexander Zverev was no better either, he left for London with a loss in the Paris Masters final against Medvedev, only to lose to the same opponent in the ATP Finals once again. The way Zverev defeated Diego Schwartzman in the second round was also very tough.
One more point to believe in Djokovic is that he still owns an impressive record against Zverev. In the last 5 matches from 2018 to now, “Nole” won 4 and lost only 1 time to Zverev, who is in the 2018 ATP Finals despite the fact that in this tournament the Serbian player won easily in the group stage.
In a broad view, these two players faced each other 7 times in total, Zverev was surprised to beat Djokovic in the first 2 matches in 2015 and 2017. In this match, it is still necessary to believe that the bravery of the player Once won 17 Grand Slam will be promoted at the right time.
Daniil Medvedev (4) – Diego Schwartzman (9): 3:00, November 21, last round of the group stage
Daniil Medvedev is in a period of extreme sublimation. After winning the Paris Masters, the Russian arrived in London and caused a sensation. He defeated two tough opponents Zverev and especially Djokovic did not have much difficulty reaching the semi-finals early.
On the contrary, Diego Schwartzman on the rare occasions he attended the “Hero Bowl” was overwhelmed. He got tickets to the tournament thanks to Federer not being present, but he soon lost the first 2 matches and had no chance to continue. In his current form, it’s hard for Schwartzman to create an upset against Medvedev.
