On September 10, Beijing time, after the last game “disintegrated”, Novak Djokovic was ready for another battle with Alexander Zverev, and believed that “just a few minutes Will determine the outcome”.
On Friday, local time, the two will meet in the men’s singles semifinals of the US Open. The most recent match between the two sides is still fresh in the memory. The German reversed the game after a fiasco and crushed the German and Jordanian games. Kovic broke into the dream of the Olympic finals, and finally won the Olympic championship, also won the Cincinnati Masters, has won 16 consecutive victories.
On the other side, Djokovic is chasing history, because if he wins the men’s singles championship at the US Open, he will become the second player to complete the annual Grand Slam after Rod Laver in 1969. , This will also be his record 21st Grand Slam men’s singles championship, ahead of his old rivals Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.
Regarding the dramatic loss at the Tokyo Olympics, Djokovic did not shy away: “Emotionally, the Olympics was a difficult ending for me, but I did dominate the game in the first half. At the time, I was 6-6. 1, 3-2 lead, unfortunately then my game collapsed.”
“I was a little skeptical about my shots at first. He read my serve very well. His serve was great and he scored a lot of easy points in the serve. Then you know, he won easily. . Obviously, in his form, he should have won the gold medal. Since then, he has never lost another game.” Novak Djokovic said, “He is in great form, and Daniel Medvedev is in the best form. Looking at his past record, he played very well on this court. In the game against Dominic Tim last year, he was only away from his first Grand Slam. It’s a bit short.”
“I’m sure that the semi-finals will be a tough fight, even harder than Wednesday (four sets reversal of Berrettini), but I am ready. Look, these are the obstacles I need to overcome to reach my ideal destination. , I can’t predict the result, but I can definitely put myself in the best physical and mental state to try my best to win. I know his game very well, he played very, very well, here is the semi-finals, we will all be very nervous , A lot of things are up in the air. This is a double-edged sword. I think just a few points are enough to determine the final victory. Let’s see what happens.” Novak Djokovic said .Return to Sohu to see more
