Novak Djokovic will play against Taylor Fritz in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open! We will not watch the replay of the final from last year, since Stefanos Tsitsipas lost to the American – 7:6 (7:3), 5:7, 6:3, 6:3. This means that Nole will play in the next round against the man he has beaten eight times so far!
It will be the ninth match between Djokovic and Fritz and an opportunity for the Serb to continue the series. He lost only two sets in all those duels. His total set ratio is 18:2! He struggled against him exactly in Melbourne two seasons ago when he celebrated only after five sets, but in that match Djokovic was injured in the third set when he had a 2:0 lead in sets…
Thanks to a great serve, the American broke the Greek, and claims that he is ready for a duel with the Serb.
“Many of our matches were when I was younger. I’ve improved a lot, I’ve matured, I’m playing at the best level and that’s exactly what you need to be able to play against the best. If I play like I did against Tsitsipas, I will have a chance“, said Fric after the match.
Novak, after fluctuations at the beginning of the tournament, played two perfect matches, first against Tomas Echeverri, and then against Adrian Manarino. He is slowly improving his form at the end of the tournament and wants to reach the 25th Grand Slam trophy. Fritz stands in his way.
