swept to advance to the final, Djokovic teased that Isner felt good, and the final against the Czech little fan brother

Only 5 rounds lost! In the semifinals of the Miami Masters, Djokovic, the 24-time Grand Slam champion, once again played a god-level performance, easily swept the handsome Bulgarian Dimitrov and advanced strongly! It is worth mentioning that the victory in this game also allowed Djokovic to successfully reach the final of the tour for 20 consecutive seasons, tying Federer for the first place on the tour!



Even before the start of this match, public opinion was almost overwhelmingly believing that the Serbian king could successfully qualify. On the one hand, Djokovic can be said to be the biggest sufferer of Dimitrov's career, and Djokovic has a 12-1 lead in the previous 13 meetings. In addition to the overall disadvantage of the record of the encounter, it must also be emphasized that after breaking into the semifinals yesterday, Dimitrov once showed symptoms of dizziness and other physical discomforts, and he needed the support of physiotherapists and others before leaving the stadium, so it also cast a shadow on this semi-final early, and many fans were even worried: Will the handsome Bulgarian guy retire due to injury?


Dimitrov didn't show much physical discomfort from the start of the match and broke Djokovic's serve in the opening game, showing very good momentum. However, the good times were short-lived, and as Djokovic gradually got into the rhythm of the game, he not only managed to break back, but also firmly controlled the rhythm of the game. In this game, Dimitrov was at a disadvantage across the board, and the baseline and serve seemed inadequate. His backhand was ruthlessly targeted, while Djokovic held his serve firmly with his god-level serve, and the baseline was even more airtight, and Dimitrov, who was under increasing pressure, seemed helpless.



Actually, this can't be entirely blamed on Dimitrov's performance, we can just look at the statistics of the game! In this contest, which took 1 hour and 10 minutes, Djokovic had a staggering 87% success rate on the first serve and a 79% win rate on the first serve. Djokovic only had five unforced errors in the whole game, four of which came from the backhand and one double fault, such a performance, no wonder Dimitrov could only shake his head more and more, firmly grasping the rhythm of the game while playing tightly, which is really helpless.


However, there is actually a trivia: Djokovic's first-serve goal rate against Dimi in the semifinals was the highest in all 1000+ matches in his career, reaching 86.7%! After only one race, he broke his own record!



In this regard, Djokovic also admitted after the game that of course he did not focus on improving his serving skills alone before the game to deliberately reach a certain level, but this year's serve is indeed very good overall, but other links may not be stable enough.


"Of course, the conditions on the pitch also helped. The ball is faster here than it was six years ago. When you have a strong serve, you have more chances of scoring directly with a serve. I even joked with Tim Henman after the game that now I can finally get a taste of what Isner or Opelka feel like – even though I don't have as many aces as they do (laughs). Djokovic said.


If he wins, Djokovic will claim his 100th career tour singles title. In this regard, the Serbian football king confessed, "At the Paris Olympics, I successfully won the 99th championship of my career. Subsequently, I knew that every race I played, I had a chance to chase the 100th title of my career. Djokovic then said: "I didn't get there, but I hope it can happen on Sunday. I'm going to give it my all. I haven't dropped a set yet, I've played very good tennis, just as well as I've always played. ”



In the final, Djokovic will face the Czech Republic's post-05 star Mensick, who is also a well-known German fan in men's tennis. The only previous meeting between the two sides was at last year's Shanghai Masters, when Mensik lost 7-6(4) 1-6 4-6. After half a year, Mensik has eliminated good players such as Draper, Fez and Fritz, which is expected to bring more impact to Djokovic.(Source: Tennis Home Author: Lu Xiaotian)
