Djokovic on track

Novak Djokovic kept his bid for a recordequalling sixth ATP Finals title alive by beating Taylor Fritz, of the United States, yesterday to reach the final of the prestigious seasonending tournament. Djokovic, who went unbeaten through the group stage, won 7-6 (5) 7-6 (6) in just under two hours in Turin, securing the win on his second match point. He has now won all six of his encounters against the 25-year-old Fritz. The Serb will face third-seeded Casper Ruud, who beat Andrey Rublev 6-2 6-4, in today’s final as he attempts to win his first title at the event since 2015 and match Roger Federer’s record.
