Jannik Sinner became the first Italian ever to reach the last four of the ATP Finals on Thursday after Hubert Hurkacz won the second set of his match with Novak Djokovic.
World number four Sinner is guaranteed at least a second spot in the Green Group thanks to Hurkacz, who is playing his only match of the season-ending tournament as a replacement for the injured Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Djokovic, however, fought back to claim a 7-6, 4-6, 6-1 win over the Polish 26-year-old to claim a victory.
Djokovic meanwhile is not guaranteed a semi-final place as his qualification would hinge on the result of Sinner’s final match with Holger Rune later on Thursday.

If the 22-year-old Sinner were to lose against Rune, Djokovic would be knocked out as a result, denying the 24-time Grand Slam champion the chance of winning a record-breaking seventh Finals.
