Djokovic crushes Rublev en route to his 10th semi-final in Australia

Date:

This Novak Djokovic it is a shredder. For the second game in a row, there were no signs of a hamstring injury in his left leg, except for the bandage he has been wearing since he felt discomfort winning the ATP preparation tournament in Adelaide. And with full power the Australian Open belongs to him. As his record says, he proves it on the track, liquidating elite rivals as if they were fairground dolls to be mercilessly dismantled.

The prize is equal to its weight in gold. A tenth Australian Open would mean for the Serbian, 35 years old and world number 5, equaling the record of 22 Grand Slam titles of Rafael Nadalto grab the No. 1 ranking from Carlos Alcaraz.

The nine-time champion eliminated Australian Alex de Minaur in the round of 16, 6-2, 6-1 and 6-2 in 2:06. He did the same to the sixth player in the world, the Russian Andrei Rublev6-1, 6-2 and 6-4 in 2h.03′.

Next on the list is the American tommy paul, at 25 years old, world number 35, living a dream in Melbourne. He defeated his compatriot Ben Shelton, a rookie in the tournament, 7-6 (6), 6-3, 5-7 and 6-4. ‘Nole’ has not been measured on the circuit, he will debut in the worst case scenario to have the Balkans in front of him.

Novak Djokovic has a 26-game winning streak at the Australian Open, which is tied for the best streak André Agassi between 2000 and 2004. The number grows to 39 counting encounters in the country where he left in deportation twelve months ago.

His tenth semifinal in his ‘aussie’ fiefdom, 44th at the Grand Slam. What Rublev, 25 years old, would not give to even reach the penultimate round of the Grand Slam. He did not clear the hurdle for the seventh time. Fernando Vicente’s student has little to blame but himself. Measured an untouchable version of Djokovic.

The Serbian added 14 ‘aces’, raised five ‘break’ balls. A decisive serve, an enviable defensive capacity. Time management, attacking as soon as he sees a hole. A seamless pediment, also immune to the strong and gusty winds that tried to take over the game.

He struggled with his Croatian coach Goran Ivanisevic, he crossed when the tape entered one right on the other side of the track, he shouted, he gestured like he was angry at the world. He informed the seat manager, the British James Keothavong, with an audience constantly facing him. Djokovic, boiling. A cannibal who continues to hunt in Melbourne Park.

On Friday, Tommy Paul. On the same day, the other semifinal, between Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas and the russian Karen Khachanova.

Djokovic closed the night by inviting fans to join him in singing ‘Happy birthday’ to his mother dijana. It was also his physical therapist’s anniversary Miljan Amanovic, who cares about the damage. whole party
