The Serbian won the 1st two sets after tiebreaks as each of these sets was played for 1 hour and 25 minutes. The Spaniard had a chance to win both sets, but Djokovic showed why he is the best player in history and, with his experience, ended up winning them.
Nole won 6-2 in the 3rd set as he broke Fokina’s serve twice and a lot harder than expected, closing the match in straight sets.
A new milestone: This was the longest *straight-sets* win of Novak Djokovic’s career at Grand Slam level 🤯
