The crowning moment at the ATP Finals has come. Sunday afternoon (20.11., 20.00, COSMOTE SPORT 6 HD) Novak Djokovic meets Kasper for the last major title of the year.
Nole is unbeaten so far while the Norwegian was only beaten by Nadal in the group stage. Novak Djokovic has the same number of wins in the last three matches.
The million final
This year, the tournament’s finances were better than ever for the athletes, and all walked away with substantial cash prizes, even if they didn’t even win.
The three participations in the association alone paid 318,099 euros. If this amount seems high to you, just see below what Rudd and Djokovic will get.
The Serb is the only one of the two who can win the trophy undefeated. With the extra bonus it is 4.7 million euros. Even if he doesn’t win the cup, the Serb will leave Turin with €2,524,813.
Now let’s go to Rude. The Norwegian can’t claim the 4.7million after suffering a loss in the groups against Nadal. But that doesn’t mean he will go wrong.
He has already secured 2,143,790 euros, if he wins the trophy he will receive a total of 2,143,790 euros 4,331,121 euros. In total, the prizes of the tournament can reach 14.7 million euros.
The facts about Djokovic
No matter what happens in the final, Novak Djokovic will end what has been a strange year for him at No. 5 in the world rankings after failing to catch Stefanos Tsitsipas.
If he manages to win the title, he will add 1500 points to his tally, having already added 1000 to reach 4320.
Furthermore, this is the 130th final for Novak Djokovic and he is chasing the 91st title of his great career and sixth in the Tour final.
The last of them was, of course, seven years ago, in 2015, when he beat Roger Federer 6-3, 6-4.
The facts about Casper Rudd
On the other hand, Rude will compete in the 15th final of his career and by far the biggest. So far he has celebrated nine titles, all in smaller tournaments.
Of course he wants to win the trophy for another reason. This is nothing more than climbing to number 2 in the world rankings.
If Rudd wins the title, he will overtake Nadal and end the year in 2nd place. Otherwise it will be in #3.
