Roland Garros, will Novak Djokovic take on Jannik Sinner in semifinals

Serbian Novak Djokovic, currently world No. 6, qualifies for the 12th time for the semifinals of Roland Garros (the first was in the very distant 2007), beating German Alexander Zverev, No. 3, with a score of 4-6 6-3 6-2 6-4. It will be Nole taking on Jannik Sinner in the semifinals of the top of the men’s singles draw.

The first set is decided by the break that Zverev gets in the first game, the German saves a break point at 4-3 in his favor and instead, when he serves for the set at 5-4, he has no problem and holds the serve to zero.

The game changes in the second set: Djokovic breaks in the fourth game, saves a counterbreak ball, misses one to ol 5-1 but then evens the set count by converting his third consecutive opportunity.

Third set: from 2-1 Zverev goes to 6-2 Djokovic with two breaks in the fifth and seventh games in favor of the Serb who closes the partial by holding serve to zero. Djokovic’s consecutive games become seven as the former tennis king goes 2-0 early in the fourth set with break in the opening set.

When serving at 3-2 Nole saves a break point. It is the last danger taken by Djokovic, who closes the file after 3 hours and 17 minutes of play but some shudder when he serves on 5-4, when he misses four match points before exulting in the fifth.
