The Serbian tennis player played two matches, played the quarterfinals during the day, and then was in the semifinals after a great struggle he defeated the Italian Lorenzo Sonega 6: 3,6: 7, 6: 2 after two hours and 45 minutes of play.
“I managed to play very well after the second set. If Lorenzo had started with a break, things would have been different. I had a chance to close everything in two sets, but I have to blame myself for not finishing the match earlier,” Djokovic said after the match.
Novak pointed out that with his performance, Sonego showed that he did not accidentally find himself in the semifinals, and he also referred to tomorrow’s finals, where he will defend the title against Nadal.
“I have to focus on recovery. I spent a lot of time on the field, I will need fresh legs for Rafa. That is necessary for me to have a chance against him,” Djokovic concluded.
The final between Djokovic and Nadal is on the program on Sunday at 5 p.m.
