The men’s singles quarter-finals ended on Wednesday at the prestigious Roland Garros tennis tournament in Paris, France.
So far, the Serbs have faced the most serious challenge of this year’s tournament. Novak Djokovic (ATP-1). Him after 3 hours 13 minutes of fighting 4: 6, 6: 2, 6: 3, 6: 4 defeated the spanish Pablo Carreno Bustą (ATP-18). By the way, recently these players also faced each other at the US Open, when the Spaniard was credited with a victory because the Serbian hit the linesman with a ball and was disqualified.
In the first set, N. Djokovičius was 2: 4 behind. The Serbian managed to eliminate the deficit (4: 4), but in the ninth game he again lost his series of passes and had no more “break points” in this set. For N. Djokovičius, this was the first set lost at this year’s Roland Garros tournament.

The Serbian asked for a medical break after the failed start of the match, but not everything went as planned at the start of the second set. N. Djokovičius was 15:40 behind in the third game and had to save by neutralizing two “break points”. In the fourth game, N. Djokovičius won the opponent’s passing series and gained an advantage in this match for the first time. He later neutralized one of Spain’s “break points” and won a series of innings from opponents in the eighth game.
The third set was changing again. Carren Busta didn’t make two break points in the first game and lost his series in the second game. The Spaniard then managed to equalize the score (3: 3) and was even able to take the initiative, but lost an important break point in the seventh game. N. Djokovičius responded to this with his opponent’s winning series of innings, giving him a victorious lead in the set.
The fourth set was also tense. N.Djokovičius squandered six “break points” until he finally won the opponent’s series in the seventh game. P. Carreño Busta tried to recover right here, but in the eighth game he did not realize the three chances to equalize the result by one point. Later, the Serb would surely have played during his innings and secured the victory.
Both players created 13 break points in this match. N. Djokovičius sold 6 of them, and Busta de P. Carren, only 3.
Greek in the next quarterfinal match, which ended a little earlier on Wednesday Stefanos Tsitsipas (ATP-6) 7: 5, 6: 2, 6: 3 defeated the russian Andrejų Rubliova (ATP-12). The Greek has already repeated the best result of his career in the “Great Accent” tournaments. Last year, he also reached the Australian Open semi-finals.
