ATP Belgrade Final 2022: Novak Djokovic and Andrey Rublev will lock horns at the ATP Belgrade Final on Sunday, April 24th.

Novak Djokovic has not had a great 2022 so far. The 20-time Grand Slam winner is playing only in his third tournament this year, but this Serbia Open could prove to be a massive gamechanger for him.

Djokovic is still finding his best form. He has dropped the opening set of every match he’s played this week but come back fighting to claim stunning victories.

The 34-year-old began the Serbia Open with a pulsating win over Laslo Dere in the round of 16 and then beat another fellow countryman in the form of Miomir Kecmanovic in the quarter-finals.

On Saturday, Djokovic got the better of Russian star Karen Khachanov 6-4, 1-6, 2-6 as he slowly began to find his groove in the second set. Now, the veteran tennis superstar will face another challenger from Russia in the form of Andrey Rublev in the final of the ATP Belgrade Cup.
