Final
Novak Djokovic (ATP №1) (Serbia) – Daniil Medvedev (ATP №4) (Russia)
3-0 (7-5; 6-2; 6-2)
First set It started out really well for Novak. The Serbian took his game without any problem, and due to the opponent’s uncertain play, he immediately took a break. Djokovic played flawlessly, bombarded with aces and led his opponent through a goal. The first problems for the world’s first racket arose when the score was 3-1, when on his serve he allowed Medvedev to win a double break, and from the first attempt to do so. The Russian began to perform much better, reducing the number of unforced errors and scoring points with confidence. Both tennis players trusted his service and he did not disappoint them: an equal match had to reach a tiebreaker. But Daniel’s psychology couldn’t take it: when the score was 5-6, he allowed his opponent to win a triple set point, and on the third attempt to do so.
Second game started in a mirror opposite the first. Medvedev managed to immediately break the opponent’s serve, but the Serbian responded in the same way twice in a row. Novak used to be rescued on the first serve, so he put his opponent in an absolutely desperate position, but on extended plays it was Daniel who had the advantage. With the score 2-5, the Russian allowed his opponent to win two set points and, on the second attempt, make one of them.
Third set For Medvedev, it didn’t work out right away – his own missed serve and the 0-2 score didn’t even hint that he could return to the game. With the score 2-4, Djokovic gave the rival a small chance to reach the break, but couldn’t take it. 5-2 meant only one thing: when Novak finished the fight. And he did it instantly.
