ATP Finals: Novak Djokovic semi-final fate uncertain despite win over Hubert Hurkacz

Novak Djokovic's fate in the ATP Finals hangs in the balance despite his win over Hubert Hurkacz on Thursday.

Djokovic defeated Poland's Hurkacz, a replacement for the injured Stefanos Tsitsipas, 7-6 (7-1) 4-6 6-1 in Turin.

However, the world number one will not qualify for the semi-finals if Holger Rune beats Jannik Sinner in the final group game later on Thursday.

Italy's Sinner, who ended Djokovic's 19-match winning streak on Tuesday, is guaranteed a place in the last four.

The 22-year-old home favourite, who will finish at least second in the Green Group, is set to become the first Italian to play in the semi-finals of the season-ending tournament.
