Djokovic, a 21-time Slam winner, has booked his spot in the knockouts of the ATP Finals with a 6-4, 6-1 win over Rublev. He is now two wins away from equaling Roger Federer’s record six titles at the tournament.
The ATP Tour’s official Twitter handle uploaded a video of Djokovic celebrating his winning moment with his children, where he could be seen hugging them tightly in front of the Italian crowd.
The former World No. 1 had recently gone on record to state that his five-year-old daughter was dubious about tennis and instead was more attracted to ballet.
Djokovic’s son Stefan, meanwhile, is learning tennis, and he was spotted showing off his skills with Goran Ivanisevic (the Serb’s coach) at the Pala Alpitour in Turin. But the 21-time Slam champion maintained a modest stance when discussing his son’s career aspirations.
Novak Djokovic dominates Andrey Rublev to secure a spot in the ATP Finals knockouts
Novak Djokovic appeared in excellent shape on Wednesday as he secured his spot in the ATP Finals semifinals by defeating Andrey Rublev 6-4, 6-1. The Serb was so strong on both serve and return that at the end of the first set, Rublev slammed the ball and his racket onto the court out of rage.
Djokovic was even more dominant in the second set, as he raced away with the match to leave Rublev completely out of ideas.
On Saturday, the Serb will contest his 11th career semifinal at the season-ending competition. He will face off against either Taylor Fritz or Felix Auger-Aliassime, who are currently in line to finish in second place in the Green Group.
