The Serbian, who will surely be the first on the ATP list by the end of January, thus accumulating at least 409 weeks at the top, met the Dane three times this season. He first lost in the quarter-finals in Rome on clay, and then at the end of the season he was better first in the quarter-finals of the Masters in Paris and then in the group stage of the final Masters. In total, they have played five matches so far, and Rune won twice. The Dane, guesting on the show with the former best tennis player in the world, Jimmy Connors, emphasized that he, together with Yannick Siner and Carlos Alcaraz, is seen as the leaders of the new generation of world tennis. But he doesn’t think he’s better than Novak right now!
