Already in the second set, the Greek woke up. There he managed to break the fifth game and place 4 to 1. The fact that he started to gain points gave the Greek a lot of confidence, who started to show his best tennis.
However, Nole was not going to let the second set slip away. Thus, in the eighth game, when the Greek was about to serve to take the set, the Serb rushed and, taking advantage of the mistakes of his rival, was able to break and equalize the set. So they went to decisive game, in which Novak Djokovic managed to impose himself to finally take the set and the title by a definitive set of 7-6 (5) .
Another title for a Nole who has already been confirmed in this 2022. With more than 1000 victories in the body, the Serb always wants more. He will now go to Roland Garros.
