Novak Djokovic moved to the brink of the last four at the ATP Finals with a comfortable victory over Andrey Rublev in Turin on Wednesday. 

The World No. 1, bidding to equal Roger Federer’s record of six titles at the season-ending event, brushed aside fifth seed Rublev 6-3, 6-2. Djokovic will be sure of his place in the semi-finals if Norway’s Casper Ruud beats British alternate Cameron Norrie later in the day. Djokovic, 34, is looking to cap off a remarkable year which saw him only just miss out on completing a calendar Grand Slam with defeat by Daniil Medvedev in the US Open final. He sits top of the Green Group and plays Norrie in his last round-robin match on Friday.
