After advancing to the semi-finals, Djokovic talked to Murray again and said that he liked his jumping around, which sometimes felt like a dream

Ginger is still old and spicy! In the 1/4 finals of the Miami Masters, Djokovic defeated Korda strongly with his super serve, which really taught a good lesson to young people.

The men's singles quarter-finals were postponed yesterday and started today, and the young Korda insisted on playing despite a wrist injury. However, despite the injuries of the opponents, the match was quite intense. The No.4 seed fell behind 2-5 in the second set, but was able to beat Koda 6-3, 7-6(4) with a strong serve, and advanced to the semi-finals with two wins over the latter. Next, Djokovic will face 14th seed Dimitrov in the semi-finals to continue his quest for a 100th career title.

In the first set, the game was uneventful, and the two sides took a 3-3 lead after holding serve in the first seven games, and at the critical moment, Deyo held serve again to throw the pressure to Koda and continued to put pressure on the opponent 4-3. In the eighth game, Korda made consecutive errors under pressure, and Djokovic scored four consecutive points to complete the crucial break, and then he successfully held serve in his own service game to win the first set 6-3.

In the second set, Korda improved his concentration and aggression, breaking first in the second game and then holding serve to get off to a dream 3-0 start. Subsequently, the two fought fiercely all the way to 5-2, the key eighth game, Djokovic held serve against the wind, and chased another game, in the 9th game, the two sides entered a fierce battle, Djokovic broke Koda's serve to win the set with experience, and then both sides held serve, and the game was dragged into a tie-break. In the tie-break, Djokovic led all the way and relied on a strong serve to win the second set 7-4.

In the whole game, Djokovic's serve was successful, hitting 49 of 59 first-serves, and the first-serve success rate was as high as 83%, which is worth mentioning that this is also the highest record in Djokovic's career of 1,135 games. However, Djokovic's good serve is not only about stability, but also strong aggression, according to big data, the average distance of Djokovic's first serve is 42 centimeters, far lower than the tour average of 58 centimeters, which makes his first serve score rate in this game as high as 84%.

After the game, in the sideline interview, the host mentioned Djokovic's current coach - Murray, and said that Murray is often very excited when watching the game on the sidelines, sometimes even jumping, and then he joked, "As a coach, it seems that I have to regulate my behavior again." Djokovic immediately took over and said, "He's a little bit up and down, but I like him like that, I really like it." ”

Since the cooperation between the two at this year's Australian Open, Djokovic's momentum has obviously improved, although the Australian Open defeated Alcaraz and reluctantly retired, and the Middle East season also played very badly, but in this year's Miami, Djokovic's form has rebounded significantly, which is in stark contrast to Djokovic in the first half of last year.

In response, Djokovic also spoke about the impact his former rival and current coach Andy Murray has had on his game. "We don't know each other as well as ordinary people," he admitted. Suffice it to say, we've been on the same stage for a long time, having known each other for 20-25 years since we were teenagers, but obviously, when you're rivals, you don't interact that much. Today, while we were waiting for the game to start, we had the opportunity to sit together and we had a really interesting conversation. ”

Djokovic said that as a player, they have a lot of respect for each other and that Murray understands his struggles on the court, so he really appreciates that he cares about his performance on the court. He also joked that sometimes it even felt like a dream to work with Murray, "One of my biggest opponents was my coach, and it was still surreal, he was banging his fists and jumping around in the box. Sometimes I pinch myself and ask myself, 'Is this real?' Is this a dream? But it's great. ”

According to the schedule, Djokovic will face Dimitrov in the semifinals tomorrow, and it is worth mentioning that Dimitrov saved match point today, and after narrowly beating Celundro in the deciding set, he once said that he felt dizzy and even needed to have his blood pressure checked, and finally left the court with the help of the tournament doctor and ATP physiotherapist. In this way, it is doubtful whether Dimitrov will retire, so let's wait and see!(Source: Tennis Home Author: Lu Xiaotian)
