Rome, Nov 15 (EFE).- The Spanish Carlos Alcaraz depends on himself to reach the semifinals of the ATP Finals in Turin, while the Serbian Novak Djokovic has a slightly more complicated situation to continue defending the crown and opt to overcome the Swiss Roger Federer.The group stage of the Masters Cup is wide open. There are few certainties, three in particular: the Russian Daniil Medvedev is classified, and the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas and the Russian Andrey Rublev have been eliminated. The rest have possibilities, without taking into account, of course, the Polish Hubert Hurkacz, Djokovic’s rival who has entered as a substitute for Tsitsipas, so he has no option either.– The accounts of the Red Group. With Medeved qualified and Rublev eliminated the accounts are simple. Alcaraz qualifies if he beats Medvedev or if the German Alexander Zverev loses to Rublev. For the Otherwise, Zverev needs a combined result. He will be qualified if he beats Rublev and if Medvedev beats Alcaraz. – The accounts of the Green Group. Djokovic will be in the semifinals if he beats Hurckaz in two sets and the Danish Holger Rune beats the Italian Jannik Sinner in two sets; or if Sinner beats Rune and wins his match against Hurkacz. The Serb would be out if Rune wins, either in two or three sets, and Djokovic does it in three (that is, if he loses a set), since they will qualify the Dane as first and the Italian as second. He would also be left out if Rune beats Sinner and loses to Hurckaz, since the Dane would be first in the group followed by the Italian. For his part, Sinner would be in the semifinals if he beats Rune or if Djokovic loses a set against Hurckaz. And Rune will be in the semifinals if he beats Sinner in two sets; or if he wins in 3 sets if Djokovic loses a set. There is a case that would take the accounts to the number of games won. But if Rune wins in 3 sets against Sinner and Djokovic wins against Hurkacz in 2, the percentage of games is taken into account because the 3 would have 2-1 win-loss and 5-3 set ratio. EFEtfc/fp
