Novak Djokovic vs Alexander Zverev: Match Preview

In the last non-dead-rubber game of the ATP Tour Finals 2020 two heavyweights of the game take each other on in London tonight. Alexander Zverev, one of the best servers in the game will match wits with Novak Djokovic, one of the best returners of the game. Both players have had rollercoaster years. Djokovic started out with four consecutive tournament wins, including a Grand Slam win and remained undefeated till his disqualification from the US Open. 

Despite this, the Serb bounced back and won a record-setting 36th ATP Masters 1000 in Rome. After a tough finals loss at the French Open and a quarter-finals exit from the Vienna Open, Djokovic has secured his 6th year-end No. 1 finish. He is also vying for a record-equalling 6th ATP Finals title.

A win today will make Zverev the second qualifier from the Tokyo 1970 Group after Daniil Medvedev. This will pit him against Thiem in the semifinal.
