After defeating Greece’s Stefanos Tsitsipas III 6-4, 7-6 (7/4) in his first match in the red group on Monday, the Serbian secured him a place in the semifinals, regardless of the outcome of his next match on Friday, against the Russian Daniel Medvedev V, who faces Tsitsipas.
Djokovic, 35, who has experienced an up-and-down season as a result of his refusal to get a Covid vaccine, which has forced him to miss a number of major tournaments due to their strict special rules, is looking for a second important title this year after Wimbledon, one of the “Grand Slam” tournaments.
Djokovic has reached the semifinals for the eleventh time in his 15 appearances in the tournament, which brings together the eight best players of the season. He is looking for a sixth title equaling the record of Switzerland’s Roger Federer.
