After securing his spot in the semifinals, Novak Djokovic reflected on potential opponents. The world number one advanced to his 11th Melbourne tournament semifinal, overcoming Taylor Fritz in four sets.
Looking ahead to the final match, Djokovic will face the winner of the clash between Jannik Sinner and Andrey Rublev.
“The upcoming match could be against Sinner, who I played earlier in the year. Both are in excellent form. I observed Rublev against De Minaur, witnessing one of the fastest exchanges. It was fantastic tennis. Sinner is showcasing the tennis of his life; we’ve already had a couple of intense matches with scores like 7:5, 7:6—unpredictable. I anticipate him playing at a high level. Now, let’s grab some popcorn and enjoy watching them play,” Djokovic expressed.
While Novak faced some challenges against Taylor, he ultimately delivered an impressive performance.
“Taylor possesses one of the best serves. I watched him against Tsitsipas, and his serving was exceptional. The conversation on break points was not ideal, 4/21, but I managed to convert when necessary. I elevated my game, serving exceptionally well from the middle of the third set onward. Surprisingly, I even had more aces than him, which is commendable in a match of this caliber,” commented Novak Djokovic.
