beat Alexander Zverev, Novak Djokovic to the semi-finals of Roland Garros

An An |

In the early morning of June 5, Novak Djokovic came back to defeat Alexander Zverev 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 in the quarter-finals of Roland Garros to win a ticket to the semi-finals against the No. 1 seed Jannik Sinner.

The match at Philippe-Chatrier started with a leaning advantage on Zverev, who was confident and won an early break to lead 2-0. The German tennis player effectively took advantage of the serve advantage, losing only 1/18 points in the first serve in set 1, ending the match with an ace.

After that, despite changing rackets early to improve his feeling, Djokovic still had difficulty against Zverev's solid play from the back and lost the first set 4-6. However, that was also the only set that Zverev enjoyed.

Entering set 2, Djokovic changed tactics, using more diverse playing style to break the opponent's game. The Serbian tennis player continuously launched sophisticated drop shots, making Zverev confused when being pulled into the net.

The former world No. 1 ended the second set with a spectacular set point with a perfect drop shot, equalizing 1-1.

This tactic continued to work in sets 3 and 4, when Djokovic combined late-term shots with unexpected shots.

The highlight was the rally of 41 touches in the 6th game of set 4, where Djokovic and Zverev ran a total of more than 200m to save the break point. This combination shows the Serbian tennis player's endurance and steady spirit.

The final victory after 3.18 minutes helped Djokovic increase his head-to-head record against Zverev to 9-5. He reached the Roland Garros semi-finals for the 13th time and the 51st Grand Slam semi-final of his career.

With this achievement, Djokovic has risen to 5th place in the ATP rankings, just one more win away from the top 4 against Wimbledon.

Djokovic's next challenge will be Jannik Sinner, a tennis player in good form at Roland Garros this year. Despite a 4-4 head-to-head record, Djokovic has lost to Sinner in all three of his most recent meetings. Therefore, the upcoming semi-final match promises to be very dramatic.

"Game like this is the reason I keep playing. Zverev is one of the best players in the world, and I am very happy with this victory" - Djokovic shared after the match.
