Deyo swept the dark horses 3-0! Reaching the Wimbledon final for the 10th time, he is just one step away from the 25th Grand Slam crown

In the second semifinal of the 2024 Wimbledon men's singles that ended in the early morning of July 13, Beijing time, seven-time champion Djokovic swept 25th seed Musetti in straight sets, 6-4, 7-6(2) and 6-4. Djokovic reached the Wimbledon final for the 10th time in his career and will face Alcaraz in the final for the second year in a row.


In the previous quarterfinals, Deyo won De Minaur's retirement ceremony without a fight, and advanced to the Wimbledon semifinals for the 13th time. Musetti, on the other hand, eliminated No. 13 seed Fritz in five sets and reached the semi-finals of a Grand Slam for the first time in his career. The two have played each other 5 times before, with Djokovic holding an absolute advantage with 4 wins and 1 loss. At this year's French Open, Djokovic narrowly defeated Musetti 3-2 in five sets to advance.


And this time they met again, and in the first set, Djokovic broke first in the 6th game. After holding serve in the 7th game, he once took a 5-2 lead. Although Musetti broke back to 4-5 in the ninth game of Deyo's service game, in the crucial 10th game, Musetti was broken again by Deyo on his own unbreakable serve, and the Serbian king finally won the first set 6-4.


In the second set, Djokovic was broken by Musetti as soon as he came up and fell into a 0-2 disadvantage. But he completed a rebound in the sixth game to chase it to 3 draws. In the 12th game, Djokovic had a break point and a set point on Musetti's undefinite serve, but was finally saved by Musetti. In the ensuing tie-break, Djokovic finally did not waste his chance, leading 3-0 in the opening game, and finally won 7-2, and after winning the tie-break in the second set, Djokovic led 2-0 on aggregate.


In the third set, Djokovic broke serve as soon as he came up. A 2-0 lead was taken at the start of the game. In the 9th game, Deyo forced 3 match points on Musetti's unbreakable serve but failed to grasp them, and Musetti held serve in a thrilling way. However, in the 10th game, Djokovic still withstood the pressure, saved a break point, won his own serve, and finally won the third set 6-4, thus sweeping the opponent 3-0.


This is Djokovic's sixth consecutive Wimbledon men's singles final and his 37th career Grand Slam singles final, continuing to extend his record.
