Novak Djokovic has dominated tennis in the past five months and the way he's been playing this week has shown just why that is the case. He's won all of his matches this week and is yet to drop a set.  Djokovic has only lost two of his last 37 matches and has already beaten Alexander Zverev once this week in the round-robin stage of this tournament. He won that match in straight sets losing just five games. Before that clash, their most recent meeting was in the Shanghai Masters semi-final and on that occasion Zverev only took three games off him. Their only other meeting was at the Rome Masters on clay last year with Zverev getting the win.

It's been a strange week really for Alexander Zverev and it'll be interesting to see how the crowd react to him. He struggled to beat Marin Cilic but did so winning two tie-breaks and also beat John Isner but of course lost to Djokovic in straight sets. Then came the semi-final against Roger Federer which he won in straight sets but didn't make too many friends in the crowd after the incident in the second set tie-break when he stopped play due to the ball-boy dropping a ball. All within the rules but the crowd booed their head off at him. The week has seen Zverev play four tie-breaks but that's unlikely to be the case in this match. Djokovic can win the title with a convincing straight-sets victory.
