ATP Finals news: Andy Murray calls out chief as Novak Djokovic abruptly ends interview
Just hours before Djokovic discovered his fate, he admitted that he had turned his attention towards the Davis Cup having not known whether he would advance to the semi-finals. “If he (Sinner) wins, I’ll qualify. If he doesn’t, I’ll still finish the season with a win and look to Davis Cup,” Djokovic said after his three-set victory over Hubert Hurkacz.
The Serb also took issue with the lining of questioning put towards him after his win, as one interviewer claimed that he appeared upset during the second set. Djokovic abruptly ended the on-court conversation before moving on to discover his semi-final fate.
Friday’s action then saw Carlos Alcaraz top the Red Group and book his spot in the semi-final with a 6-4 6-4 win over Daniil Medvedev while Andrey Rublev contested a dead rubber against Alexander Zverev, with both men eliminated. Alcaraz will face Djokovic in a blockbuster semi-final clash on Saturday while Medvedev takes on Sinner for a spot in the final.
