ATP Finals: Novak Djokovic capped a year of tense battles with Carlos Alcaraz in style late on Saturday night at the ATP Finals, where the World No. 1 clinched a 6-3, 6-2 semi-final victory against the Spaniard.

The Serbian offered few attacking opportunities to his powerful opponent by consistently striking deep and clinched a break of Alcaraz’s serve in each set to set a championship-match meeting with home favourite Jannik Sinner.

With his win, the Serbian moved within one match of becoming champion at the prestigious season finale for a record seventh time. The 36-year-old went 2-1 in group play in Turin, where his only defeat came against his next opponent: Sinner.
