Semifinals at the highest level
While Nadal continues in this tournament without losing a set, Serbian Djokovic had to give one in the quarterfinals to Spanish Pablo Carreño Busta. And two were tied in the semifinals. The 33-year-old, who won the French Open in 2016, still beat Stefanos Tsitsipas 6: 3, 6: 2, 5: 7, 4: 6 and 6: 1.
It could be said for a long time that Djokovic was in his 38th major semifinal and Tsitsipas, who was so sensational in phases in the intense game, only in the second. It was only at the end of the third set that the 22-year-old was able to take advantage of one of the many break opportunities and played up to fourth place. Suddenly it was the other way around, Tsitsipas made the big points, the logical consequence was the fifth set. But now the Greek’s resistance has been broken in his second big semi-final after Melbourne the previous year. The game, which lasted around four hours, was the best so far in the course of the tournament.
