–

Finally – the finals are here on the ATP Tour.

The top eight run the gamut. And right away world No. 1 Novak Djokovic takes on your Jedi Holger Rune, currently coached by Djokovic’s former mentor Boris Becker.

The two have played four times – and Rune has won two of those.

They met less than two weeks ago in Bercy, when Djokovic over game some … tummy issues through the week and won a marathon in the quarterfinal.

They met the previous year in the Bercy final, and Rune won that one – the biggest title of his career. And they played in the Rome quarterfinals, where Rune also won.

It was a dramatic one. But as Djokovic usually does, he wore the kid down and found a way to the “W”.

The other singles match is also potentially fascinating, as underdog Stefanos Tsitsipas holds a 5-2 head-to-head over Jannik Sinner – who won the last one in Rotterdam in February after Tsitsipas won the previous four. But Sinner won in straight sets.

(Turin is six hours ahead of EST).
