–

No. 1 plays No. 2, and No. 3 plays No. 4 in the singles semifinals in Turin.

Probably not what they would have drawn up – certainly you would probably want a Djokovic vs Alcaraz final.

But what set up to potentiall be a blockbuster semifinal ended up a masterclass in crisis management by Djokovic, for what mini-crises he had to deal with.

And the local hero, Jannik Sinner, had a chance to get to the final day. And did.

In doubles, the No. 3 – No. 6 seeds are the ones who make the weekend, and the two lower seeds the final.

(Turin is six hours ahead of EST).
