Second seed Tsitsipas leads the Red Group which contains Djokovic as well as 2020 champion Daniil Medvedev and world No 7 Andrey Rublev. Tsitsipas and Djokovic faced off in last week’s Paris Masters semi-final and the Greek star will be gunning for revenge as he narrowly missed out by losing in a final set tiebreak.
Djokovic and Medvedev have also had a recent semi-final meeting at last month’s Astana Open, which saw the Russian suddenly end the match in a shock retirement after losing the second set tiebreak, having won the first set. And both men will be relishing the chance to finish the match they never got to complete.
Rublev won last month’s title in Gijon while Medvedev picked up the Vienna Open title in his first tournament since that shock retirement to Djokovic, with the Serb being crowned the champion in Tel Aviv and Astana before his winning streak finally came to an end in the Paris Masters final at the hands of Holger Rune.
