 The final city pass versus Novak Djokovic is a fourth group stage match for the adb finals for 2022 and both guys have had very different seasons to get to the finals. To start the season city pass was at number four in the world and with a strange mid season slump he recovered well to end the year off as number three in the world. His record for the season 59 wins 22 losses one of the most active players this year and another massive season of tournaments played. He did make five finals but he only won the two titles from those five finals. He went back to back in Monte Carlo and he won his first grass court event in Mallorca just before Wimbledon. His best win he beat Daniel Medvedev in Cincinnati who was number one at the time. A very big win for Steph especially on a hard court and against a guy that he hasn't beaten that many times in their careers. His worst loss though was at the start of the year in Marseille against the 163 in the world, Sir Fulin who was a qualifier in that event. Djokovic started the year off as the world number one and as most of you know he was unable to defend a lot of the points due to politics getting involved and him not being allowed to play many of the tournaments throughout the season and while he did maintain his number one ranking for most of the first six months after Wimbledon he dropped down the ranks finishing a number eight in the world. His record this season considering he didn't play that much 37 wins seven losses winning four out of the six finals that he played winning in Roman Wimbledon at the start of the season and then in recent weeks winning in Tel Aviv and Astana and of course who can forget that Paris finally played only a week ago. His best win against the world number four at the time Medvedev in Astana and his worst loss coming in his first event of the season all the way back in late February against Vesely the 123 in the world in Dubai so I guess you can kind of put an asterisk next to that loss considering it was Djokovic's first time back for almost three months at that time. These guys have played 11 times before with Djokovic leading the head to head nine two and also has won all their meetings this year but their last meeting was in Paris a couple weeks ago and City Pass did have chances to take that semi-final on the indoor hard court so maybe there is a chance City Pass can turn this one around. City Pass is going to win this match he's going to have to play like he did in Paris from the second set onwards. First set he was blown out of the water by Djokovic and it looked like another straight set's win for Nole but City Pass has to have a better start to give himself any chance of winning this match. If Djokovic is going to win he needs to get off to a good start and keep that good start going because he did run out of gas in the second set against City Pass and then almost lost it in the third and we all know what happened in Paris against Runa the day after that so Djokovic is going to have to keep his focus throughout the match and keep his energy up. This is always a fun match to watch but I think that Djokovic on the hard courts has got the edge even though they played a close one in Paris I think Nole is going to get the job done maybe in three sets again maybe a straight set or over three sets just for fun but let me know down in the comments below who do you think is going to win this first match up.
