Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic, ATP world number one, he conquered the Rome tournament this Monday after defeating the Argentine 7-5 and 6-3 Diego schwartzman and thus achieve his thirty-sixth Masters 1,000.
The one from Belgrade thus forgot the disappointment suffered in the last US Open with his disqualification in the round of 16 for giving an involuntary pitch to a linesman and broke with the Spanish Rafael Nadal in titles in tournaments of this category, also presenting his candidacy for Roland Garros.
‘Nole’ inherited the throne of Manacor in the Foro Italico, where he reigned for the fifth time in his career and for the first time since 2015, after a solid match, where he knew how to recover from a bad start against the executioner precisely of Nadal, at that finally the forces did not reach him to give the surprise before the Balkan.
Djokovic closed the game with 29 winning shots, 18 of them with a ‘drive’ that worked perfectly to dismantle his rival, who also had his options, especially when he started the match with two ‘breaks’ and a threatening 3 -0.
At the time, the world number one seemed nervous in front of a center court with a little crowd and more aware of the weather, but he managed to settle down and quickly regain his disadvantage. Despite the Serbian’s recovery, Schwartzman knew how to hold on and even had a break ball with 4-4, but did not take advantage of it and later, after saving one with his serve, he ended up yielding at the gates of the ‘tie-break’ after a series of errors, double fault included.
The ‘roar’ of Djokovic after taking the sleeve heralded a barrage of the world number one, but the Argentine showed that his end was no coincidence and began breaking the service at the beginning of the second sleeve to take the advantage.
Schwartzman still had another good option to break again in the fifth game, but he missed two ‘forehands’ and ‘Nole’ saved the situation. The Belgrade did not forgive in the eighth game with 4-3 and had no problems to close his record victory and continue his almost flawless 2020 with five titles (ATP Cup -with Serbia-, Australia, Dubai, Cincinnati and Rome) and 26 wins to one loss, the New York blur that will already be forgotten.
