There s no way this draw isn t rigged - Tennis fans fume over Rafael Nadal eluding Novak Djokovic in lopsided ATP Finals draw

Tennis fans fume over Rafael Nadal eluding Novak Djokovic in lopsided ATP Finals draw The much-anticipated 2022 draw has been released and tennis fans have given their verdict on the placements of the players, especially and . The ATP Finals, which is scheduled to commence on November 13 in Turin, will see Rafael Nadal, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Casper Ruud, Daniil Medvedev, Felix Auger Aliassime, Andrey Rublev, Novak Djokovic and Taylor Fritz fight for the coveted title. World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz, meanwhile, had to withdraw from the event owing to an abdominal injury, and was replaced by Fritz. The round-robin stage draw for the season-ending tournament was released on Friday, with the Mallorcan being placed alongside Casper Ruud, Felix Auger-Aliassime and Taylor Fritz in the Green Group. The Serb, meanwhile, is set to face Stefanos Tsitsipas, Daniil Medvedev and Andrey Rublev in the Red Group. While the Green Group features players who have never won the ATP Finals, including two first-timers in Felix Auger-Aliassime and Taylor Fritz, the Red Group will face cut-throat competition with three previous ATP Finals winners – Novak Djokovic, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Daniil Medvedev. Tennis fans are expectedly frustrated by the announcement, with many disheartened by the placement of Nadal and Djokovic in different groups and the missed opportunity of a guaranteed match-up between the two outside of clay. "What do we have to do to see Novak vs Rafa on HC? Is it too much to ask for? Novak regularly makes deep runs on clay, but they've barely faced outside clay in a decade," one fan said.
