Novak Djokovic is looking to built momentum into the ATP Finals and write yet more history into the record books with another Paris title.

[Roger Federer](https://tennishead.net/tennis/roger-federer/) in terms of career Masters 1000 match wins. Khachanov defeated Djokovic 7-5, 6-4 in the final of the 2018 event to win his first and only Masters title to date. The Serb has never played Huesller, but has faced Khachanov on eight previous occasions, winning seven. The Spaniard enters Paris with 406 wins to his name at 1000 level. His only loss in that time came to Felix Auger-Aliassime at the Laver Cup in September. Seeded sixth, Djokovic is back in action for the first time since claiming back-to-back titles in Tel Aviv and Astana in October.

He then saved a set point at 6/7 in the second-set tie-break to advance to the third round. The 23-year-old has a current season record of 48-19 after making finals at the US Open, Miami, and Roland Garros. "It does change a lot because not only do you have to get the return back, but you have to put it under his feet, which is very difficult to do. While the tactic worked on his own serve, he was unable to disrupt Djokovic's delivery because the Serb lost just six service points and did not encounter a breakpoint. Djokovic defeated the Paris-born American 7-6(1), 6-4 as he dominated the serve and was able to use that freedom to try to stop Cressy's thunderous delivery. The sixth seed was able to demonstrate his athleticism throughout the one-hour, 43-minute match despite numerous short points.

After lifting trophies in Israel and Kazakhstan, Djokovic stretched his winning streak to 10 matches since a loss at the Laver Cup in September.

Isner dropped serve twice in the opening set and Rublev capitalized on three forehand errors by the American to break for a 3-1 lead in the second. Ruud snapped a poor run of form after losing in the first round of the Basel and Tokyo tournaments. Meanwhile, Andrey Rublev and Hubert Hurkacz stayed in contention for the two remaining spots at the ATP Finals. After lifting trophies in Israel and Kazakhstan, Djokovic stretched his winning streak to 10 matches since a loss at the Laver Cup in September. In the first meeting between the two, the big-serving Cressy saved three break points in the eighth game but then hit two double-faults in the tiebreaker, which Djokovic won with an ace. “Difficult to play him definitely in these kind of conditions where balls are flying through the court and it’s quicker than it was last year,” Djokovic said.

The number six seed is targeting his fifth title from just 11 events after a season heavily curtailed by his opposition to being vaccinated against Covid.

Asked about his state of fitness after a season “extraordinary in terms of results but complicated in terms of injuries” he added: “With an ageing body like mine, when you are coming back from a lay-off, it’s difficult to know how you are going to react and play.” Nadal, who in October celebrated the birth of a son, Rafael, has not played since the US Open and a last-16 loss to Frances Tiafoe, aside from teaming up with Federer in the doubles at the Laver Cup. But he has said he is “super pumped” to finish 2022 in style, and his one hour, 42 minute beating of Cressy also took his winning streak in Paris to 10 matches after claiming the title here in 2019 and 2021, having missed the 2020 edition. And aside from competing in Roger Federer’s farewell to the sport at the Laver Cup he effectively did not play for three months after Wimbledon, the US Open among the tournaments he was forced to sit out.
