The Serb beat local credit in four sets and will seek his seventh title at the Cathedral and the 21st Grand Slam of his career, precisely in the same place where he won the last.
The mystery is over. Novak Djokovic (3rd) will rival Australian Nick Kyrgios (40th) in the Wimbledon final. The Serb had to demand to beat the Briton Cameron Norrie (12th) and access the possibility of winning the title in the cathedral for the fourth consecutive time and the seventh in his career. It was a hard-fought 2-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 victory.
The duel could not have started better for the local credit, since he immediately broke the service of the former world number one, who although he got it back immediately, didn’t seem to get up to speed with the game. A new break from Norrie gave him the advantage and this time he had the solidity not only to keep it, but also to keep the Balkan serve again and thus complete the quarter with force.
However, and As is the trend with Nole, the downturn didn’t last that long and he woke up like a caged beast. He was starting to come back better and his rival was no longer so comfortable. Product of this pressure returned, that of Belgrade made the decisive break in the eighth game and equalized things.
From then on, everything became easier for Djokovic, who dominated quite comfortably. A Pause entry and very few unforced errors paved the way for the penalty of a duel that started very complicated. Another break in game five liquidated any option for Norrie.
The last chapter was a bit more even. Local credit, which makes its appearance here, opposes greater resistance. However, the initial break the Serb managed allowed him to manage the advantage and close any avenue that would allow a comeback.
Now you will see the faces with Nick Kyrgios, the executioner of Christian Garin in the quarter-finals and that he advanced after Rafael Nadal’s no-show. The Australian has beaten Djokovic in the two encounters he has faced, both in 2017, in Acapulco and Indian Wells.
