Djokovic è convinced he played one of his worst matches in his career

Sinner è in the final of the Australian Open. Beaten, in four sets, Djokovic who, in Melbourne, had not known defeat for 33 matches in a row. A defeat that weighs heavily on the Serb, certain that he did not express his best tennis against the Azure: “I was shocked by my level, I did not do much in the first two sets. I guess this is one of the worst matches of the Grand Slam. At least what I remember. It è not a very pleasant feeling to play like this”, his words reported by Sky Sports.

However, the Serb, the defending champion, congratulates Sinner on an excellent performance: ” I want to congratulate Sinner for playing a great match, a great tournament so far. ” deservedly in the final. He completely beat me… Congratulations to him, he was very dominant. Dominant in his service games. Obviously if you serve well and you don’t face a break point, you can put moreù pressure on the answering games and he did”.

Djokovic è however, confident for the continuation of the season, despite the heavy defeat he suffered in Melbourne against Sinner: “The season? I still have high hopes, for the other Slams, the Olympics and whatever tournament he will play. It’s just the beginning of the season…. This tournament was not, as I said, up to my standards, my criteria or the level at which I would normally play or expect to play, but it doesn&#39t necessarily mean it&#39s the beginning of the end, as some people like to think. Let’s see what happens in the rest of the season”.

All-U.S. semifinal at US Open

Another big man exits the tournament. After the various Alcaraz and Djokovic, Zverev è is also no longer in the running at the US Open. The German è was beaten by Fritz in four sets (7-6 (2) 3-6 6-4 7-6), at the end of a match that è lasted almost three and a half hours. A defeat that leaves a lot of bitterness in Zverev’s mouth. The German was aiming to reach at least the final.

A feat for the American who, dragged by the home crowd, won the first semifinal of a Slam event. After winning the first set on tie-break, Fritz suffered the return of Zverev, who took home the second partial with a peremptory 6-3. The momentum seemed to be in the German’s hands but Fritz escaped on 3-0. Zverev recovers but gives up at the più beautiful. Spectacular fourth set. Zverev tries everything but, once again, the tie-break costs him dearly. He loses it 7-3 and says goodbye to the tournament.

Dreams big for Fritz who, in the semifinals, will face the other American Tiafoe who, in the quarterfinals, wins the match with Dimitrov, forced to retire in the fourth set due to a physical problem: 6-3, 6-7, 6-3, 4-1 the partials in favor of Tiafoe.

The United States dreams, after 21 years (Roddick, 2003), of an American winning the U.S. Open. In the meantime, it enjoys Sinner who, thanks to Zverev &egrave’s knockout; increasingly serene in his comfortable position as world No. 1.
