Former world number one Novak Djoković is unbeaten in the semifinals of the ATP Finals.
The 35-year-old Serb also won against top Russian player Daniil Medvedev 6: 3, 6: 7 (5: 7), 7: 6 (7: 2) in Turin on Friday and thus won his third preliminary round game.
It was already certain that Djoković would meet the American Taylor Fritz in his eleventh semi-final at the end of the year for the eight best tennis professionals of the season on Saturday.
Fritz has reached the semifinals of the ATP Finals for the first time in his career.
Djoković, the 21-time Grand Slam tournament winner, is aiming to win the prestigious event for a sixth time.
Last year's finalist Medvedev had no chance of progressing, the 2020 tournament winner ended this year's ATP Finals with three defeats.
In the late singles of the day, Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas and Andrei Rublev will be fighting for the last available spot in the semifinals.
The winner of the duel will face the Norwegian fourth in the world rankings Casper Ruud in the semi-finals.
