Novak Djokovic is expected to equal Roger Federer’s record of six ATP Finals triumphs by seeing off Casper Ruud in the Turin decider. However, the Norwegian should have an edge in freshness after making smooth progress so far and that could help him to be competitive.
Roger Federer’s retirement from professional tennis was greeted with sadness by sports fans around the world, but none more so than his friend and fellow legend Rafael Nadal. How does their story compare with some of the other greatest sporting rivalries of all time?
This year’s edition of the Laver Cup has taken on extra significance following the news that Roger Federer will retire after featuring in London. Federer will play the final match of his career when partnering Rafael Nadal in doubles for Team Europe on Friday night at the O2 Arena.
This year’s US Open has provided a glimpse into the future and Carlos Alcaraz is fancied to complete his meteoric rise by beating Casper Ruud in the final. The 19-year-old is the youngest man to make a slam decider since fellow Spaniard Rafael Nadal won his maiden French Open in 2005.
The two best female players of the season will battle it out for the final grand slam title when Iga Swiatek takes on Ons Jabeur in New York. Jabeur will climb from fifth to second after reaching her second successive major final, but Swiatek is a long way clear at the top of the rankings.

Hubert Hurkacz is fancied to secure his second Masters 1000 title by edging out Pablo Carreno Busta in our ATP Montreal predictions. The 25-year-old Pole has featured in five past ATP Tour finals, winning them all, four of which were played on hard courts.
Novak Djokovic has not quite looked at his best at Wimbledon but it is still hard to oppose him in the final against Nick Kyrgios. The six-time champion has not lost a match at the All England Club since 2017 and has kept on doing just enough to get the job done this year.
Ons Jabeur was our pre-tournament tip to win the women’s singles at Wimbledon and we’re sticking with her in the final against Elena Rybakina. With both players competing in their first grand slam decider, nerves could be frayed, but the Tunisian is backed to battle through.
We’ve reached the men’s semi-finals stage with our Wimbledon 2022 predictions and unfortunately only have one selection for today. Rafael Nadal was forced to withdraw from his clash with Nick Kyrgios due to injury, denying him the chance to push for a 23rd grand slam title.
Rafael Nadal has never lost a French Open final and is fancied to dominate Casper Ruud in his 14th decider at Roland Garros. The 23-year-old Norwegian has done well to get this far for the first time but has never faced the king of clay in a competitive match.
