Novak Djokovic won against Stefanos Tsitsipas in an exciting five-set match 6: 3, 6: 2, 5: 7, 4: 6, 6: 1. For the world number it is the fifth final at Roland Garros. Rafael Nadal awaits him there, looking for his 13th win in Paris.
Djokovic, who has 17 Grand Slam titles, was in jeopardy against Tsitsipas, who had grown stronger and stronger over the course of the tournament, when he had reportedly already won the game. He was also on his way to a three-set win when he made a backhand at a match point along the line while doing his own serve. As a result, Tsitsipas, who grew stronger and stronger over the course of the tournament, managed to break two sets to win the set and the game turned into a thriller.
After Djokovic made another quarter-final sentence against Pablo Carreño Busta and had a treatment on his left arm, the Serbian made a good impression again. On the fifth move, Tsitsipas was the more tired of the two. Sixth in the world rankings was in the final in Hamburg immediately before the French Open. When the score was 1: 1, he finally ran out of strength. «Congratulations to Stefanos, he played very well and is a great person. I would have deserved the final, ”commented Djokovic.
Whose side are the advantages in the final of the two giants vying for Roger Federer’s status as the most successful player in Grand Slam tournaments is difficult to assess. His famous story at the French Open and the fact that Djokovic had to exceed nine sets in the last two games speak for Nadal.
For Djokovic, who has yet to lose a match in sport this year and has won five of the last eight Grand Slam tournaments. Djokovic’s record against Nadal is 29:26 wins overall and 15:11 in finals. At the French Open, however, it is 6: 1 for Nadal, and at Grand Slam tournaments the Spaniard one year older leads 9: 6.
