Command Analysis
Stefanos Tsitsipas started his Turin campaign with a straight-set loss to Novak Djokovic (4-6, 6-7), but he bounced back and celebrated success over Daniil Medvedev in the second match (6-3, 6-7, 7-6). To get to the semifinals, Tsitsipas must beat Rublev. The Greek tennis player had not qualified from the group in the previous two years, but he was the winner of the Finals in 2019.
