number one in the world Novak Djokovic constantly climbing position levels based on battles and victories. It was hard for him to cover up the lack in the fight because he couldn’t compete because he hadn’t been vaccinated against the coronavirus and had a disease that he didn’t want to give more detail to, because he wasn’t covid. suffered in the early days of the pandemic. .
However, day-to-day work and the accumulation of competition are fruitful. He lost consciousness against the Spaniards Alexander Davidovich in the third set of Monte Carlo, he also physically sank against the Russian Andrew Rublev in the final in Belgrade.
Three years after winning his third title at Mutua Madrid Open, in 2019, the 34 -year -old Serbian has returned to Caja Mágica to continue his preparations for Roland Garros. And he will have a job because he made it to the semifinals for the seventh time and this Saturday he will face the Spanish survivor, Rafael Nadal or Carlos Alcaraz.

Djokovic did his job by taking advantage of the shortcomings of a stupid Hurkacz. He improves on the clay but it is still the surface that costs him the most. The Serbian did not give up his service (43 out of 55 points won), powered by ground and ball speed on a dry, sunny day. Hurkacz was only released to beat two ‘match’ balls at his service and endure another game on the court. Who won 15 ‘Nole’ in sentencing.

Against Rafa the faces were seen 58 times, with a favorable 30-28 balance since he beat him in the semifinals of Roland Garros 2021. He has yet to face Carlitos, with whom he trained a few days ago at Caja Mágica.
“I’m sure I’ll watch the game, but it’s relaxing because I’ve already won and tomorrow I’ll be up against a Spaniard,” ‘Nole’ meant in Spanish to questions on the court. Alex Corretja. He also signed up for parcheesi with his group, as happens with the team Rafael Nadal.
