A. Zverev already won the opponent’s series in the first game and had a long lead. The German could have won the set in the ninth game, but did not make a break point. Also, in the 10th game, A. Zverev could not hold the tension and lost his series of innings, although he had not given the opponent a single break point until then. The extension was very changeable. N. Djokovičius started better (2: 0), so he lost 3 points in a row, responded with 2 winning points, but then lost the ball he played and the result was equal again (4: 4). Later, both players began to play a little more successful during their innings, until A. Zverev interrupted the series, winning the ball played by the Serbian. The German then went ahead 7: 6 and finished the set with his presentation.
There was no such tension in the second set: N. Djokovičius won the first 4 games and finished the set calmly. In the third set, A. Zverev already had a solid lead (3: 0, 4: 1) and made the Serbian nervous, but then N. Djokovičius shifted to a higher gear and responded with a decisive 5: 0 blast.

The fourth set was also changeable. It was not enough for A. Zverev to have accumulated a landslide 4: 0 lead, but he did not achieve three “break points” in the fourth game. Then N. Djokovičius started to come out of the pit, won a series of rivals and regained his balance (3: 3). A. Zverev tried to regain the initiative, but lost two “break points” in the eighth game. In the twelfth game, the Serbian struggled again during his innings, but A. Zverev missed the set point and had to play extra time. In the extra part of the set, the point-to-point game lasted a long time (1: 1, 3: 3, 5: 5, 6: 6) until the Serbian was the first to win the ball passed by the opponent (7: 6). The Serbian then “stabbed” the irresistible 23rd submission and consolidated his victory.
N. Djokovičius, the magician of the tournament, will be waiting for the Russian in the semifinals Aslanas Karacevas (ATP-114). He 2: 6, 6: 4, 6: 1, 6: 2 removed Bulgarian Grigorą Dimitrovą (ATP-21).
