Djokovic, a 21-time Grand Slam champion, beat his Greek opponent 6-3 6-4. Tsitsipas lost his serve in the eighth game of the first set before his rival went on to take the opener. Djokovic later broke Tsitsipas in the fifth game of the second set and took the match on his third match point. The victory guarantees the 35-year-old a spot at the 2022 ATP Finals. Tsitsipas has finished runner-up in each of the nine ATP Tour finals he has played. In the Japan Open, Taylor Fritz beat fellow American Frances Tiafoe 7-6 (7-3) 7-6 (7-2). Fritz was in a week-long quarantine in South Korea after contracting Covid-19 and flew to Tokyo on Wednesday on the morning of his first match of the tournament. His victory means he will break into the top 10 of the men's rankings for the first time on Monday with a new ranking of eight. "First off, I want to congratulate Frances on a great week. I mean, he's been on fire recently and I had to play my absolute best to beat him today," Fritz said. "We've spent a lot of time together the last couple weeks, he's one of my really close friends, and I'm sure it's not going to be the last time we play for a big-timer." Swiatek stunned Barbora Krejcikova secured a second successive WTA title with a stunning victory over world number one Iga Swiatek in the Ostrava final on Sunday. Swiatek, the French and US Open champion, had won her previous 10 finals. But Krejcikova, of the Czech Republic, triumphed 5-7, 7-6 (7-4), 6-3 to add the trophy to her victory i...

Carlos Alcaraz is the top seed at the Astana Open Seeded players- (1) Carlos Alcaraz, (3) Stefanos Tsitsipas, (5) Andrey Rublev (7) Hubert Hurkacz. Expected semifinal: Carlos Alcaraz vs Hubert Hurkacz. Dark Horse: Marin Cilic. The Astana Open will be Carlos Alcaraz's first singles tournament since winning the US Open and becoming the World No. 1. The Spaniard will be a heavy favorite to win the ATP 500 event and takes on Holger Rune in the first round. While the Dane has potential, his form has been dismal over the past few months and Alcaraz should be able to defeat him comfortably. The 19-year-old could potentially face veteran Stan Wawrinka in the round of 16 and we could see another comprehensive win for him. Andrey Rublev will be Alcaraz's most likely opponent in the quarterfinals, making for another potential blockbuster. However, the Spaniard's recent form should see him get the better of the Russian and reach the semifinals. The other side of the half has three very good players in Stefanos Tsitsipas, Hubert Hurkacz and Marin Cilic, all three of whom are capable of reaching the final four. Hurkacz faces a tricky task in the first round as he will face Francisco Cerundolo. However, the Pole should be able to come out on top and reach the second round, where he will have to defeat whoever out of Alexander Bublik and Tallon Griekspoor he faces. Tsitsipas and Cilic will most likely lock horns in the round of 16 and while the former will be the favorite, the latter shou...

It was the ninth consecutive match victory for the fourth seed, who won the title a week ago in Tel Aviv. This was the 90th tour-level title for the 35-year-old and it required only 75 minutes. For the third-seeded Greek Tsitsipas, it was the ninth time he played in an ATP 500 final – and the ninth time he came up empty. Djokovic now leads their ATP Head2Head series 8-2 and has won the past seven. As a result of the win, the Serbian star secures himself a Top 20 spot in the Pepperstone ATP Live Race to Turin after the 2022 When the on-court interviewer observed that Djokovic probably never dreamed of 90 ATP Tour titles, Djokovic shook his head. “I dared to dream, actually,” he corrected. “I always hoped that I would be going to have a great career. Obviously, didn’t know the amount of finals I was going to play, the amount of tournaments I was going to win, but my intention was always to reach the highest heights in our sport.” Tsitsipas will return to the Top 5 in the Pepperstone ATP Rankings on Monday and the 24-year-old Greek still leads all ATP Tour players with 53 match wins. Djokovic began the match with an extraordinary level of play, winning the first game at love in a little over one minute. With Tsitsipas serving at 3-4, the 21-time major champion turned up the heat. Employing the drop shot that undid Djokovic scored another break in the fifth game of the second set when a frustrated Tsitsipas attempted a drop shot that fell into the net. Later, Djokovic converte...
