ATP Finals Prediction: Djokovic to Win 2-0
For the great level that Djokovic currently shows, we expect that he only needs 2 sets to win this feature. Andrey Rublev made many mistakes in the first round, and if he repeats this against the Serbian tennis player, he will have no chance to win even one set.
Although the Russian player already defeated Djokovic this year, it should be remembered that it was playing on clay. The Serbian tennis player is a hardcourt specialist, so winning in straight sets would not be unusual.

Rublev ATP Finals Analysis
The first round feature was very hectic for Andrey Rublev, as he came up against a good performance by Daniil Medvedev. Perhaps Andrey would have won faster if he had not lost set points in the first set, some of them in a row. Medvedev was able to defend himself and then gave the lunge to win the first set.
In the second set, all Rublev was better and converted two break points to win 6-3. The last set was similar to the first. Again, Andrey Rublev had 5 matchpoints, this time he got the fifth to take the victory.
Djokovic ATP Finals Analysis
The great season that the Serbian tennis player has had has only been overshadowed by his absence in some of the most important tournaments of the ATP Tour. Although he did not hold first place in the ATP ranking, it is an important milestone to remain in the top 8, without having the same opportunities as his rivals.
Previously in round 1, the Serbian tennis player had a tough challenge against Stefanos Tsitsipas. The Greek tennis player showed a great level that could only be surpassed if Novak was at his best, and he was. Djokovic not only proved to be in good physical condition but also the experience he possesses.
