- Djokovic can win $4,740,300 for winning the tournament
- Serb beat Taylor Fritz before Ruud beats Andrey Rublev
Norwegian Casper Ruud is all that stands between Novak Djokovic and a record-equalling sixth ATP Finals title, after the Serbian former No 1 beat American Taylor Fritz 7-6(5) 7-6(6) in the Turin semi-final.
The 21-times major champion overcame a barrage of aces from Fritz, outlasting the Indian Wells winner despite having a bad day in his own opinion, and produced fewer errors at the Pala Alpitour to move to within one win of matching Roger Federer’s record at the season finale.
