ATP year-end finals are over halfway through. Djokovic, who advanced early, confirmed that he will play against Fritz in the semi-finals. Although Djokovic has the advantage in the match record, Fritz believes that his perfect data will help him win the finals.
Fritz said he knew very well that every time he reached the semi-finals, he would win the 2022 championship. In 2022, Fritz won three championships - Indian Wells, Eastbourne and Tokyo. Now, Fritz will face Djokovic in the semifinals of the ATP Finals.
When Fritz meets Djokovic, he hopes to achieve 4 wins and 0 losses in the 2022 semi-finals. "Yes, I know," Fritz said of the stat. He will win the final victory when he reaches the semi-finals of a tournament in 2022.
So far, 25-year-old Fritz has not had much success with Djokovic as the Serbs have been leading in their head-to-head, 5-0. "It's a great opportunity. I'm looking forward to playing against Novak. Obviously, he's one of the best, if not the best. He's done a great job here in the past. I'm very excited about this opportunity."
Fritz's serving performance was excellent in Turin this week. The court in Turin is very fast, and Fritz, who relies on strong serves, makes the most of this. "I think it's a lot for people who might not get that many points in a stalemate. I think it's very important because if you serve badly, you're going to crash and you're likely to lose the set. That's it. I think this is probably the biggest problem I had with Rud a few days ago," Fritz explained.
Of course, it remains to be seen whether Fritz's magical law will work and whether he can defeat Djokovic in Turin.
