Italian Open 2022 Final, Novak Djokovic vs Stefanos Tsitsipas: Where to watch, TV schedule, live streaming details and more
World No. 1 Novak Djokovic will square off against Stefanos Tsitsipas in the final of the Italian Open on Sunday. The Serb is chasing his first title of the season, while Tsitsipas is gunning for his second, having triumphed in Monte-Carlo last month.
Djokovic entered the tournament following a semi-final exit at the Madrid Masters. Seeded first, he received a bye to the second round, where he beat Aslan Karatsev 6-3, 6-2.
In the last 16, the 34-year-old defeated longtime rival Stan Wawrinka 6-2, 6-2 to reach the quarterfinals. Eighth seed Felix Auger-Aliassime pushed him all the way, but the World No. 1 prevailed 7-5, 7-6(1) to book his place in the semifinals.
Awaiting the Serb in the last four was Casper Ruud, whom he defeated 6-4, 6-3 to reach his 12th final in Rome. It marked the 1000th win of Djokovic's illustrious career.
Djokovic's final opponent, Tsitsipas, has had a successful claycourt season. The Greek won the Monte-Carlo Masters and made the semifinals in Madrid. He faced Alexander Zverev in the last four of the Italian Open and fought back from a set down to win the match and reach his first final in Rome.
This will be the ninth meeting between Djokovic and Tsitsipas, with the former leading the head-to-head 6-2. The duo clashed in the semifinals of last year's Italian Open, with the Serb winning 4-6, 7-5, 7-5.
Djokovic looks in imperious form at present, but so does Tsitsipas. The match promises to be an exciting one and it will be interesting to see who comes out on top.
