The Serb will face Nick Kyrgios in the final after beating Cameron Norrie in four sets after an initial scare
Novak Djokovic is already the man with the most Grand Slam finals played. The Serb has suffered to achieve this feat, but after battles with the sun, the crowd and Cameron Norrie (2-6, 6-3, 6-2 and 6-4), he agreed to his eighth final at Wimbledon and he will be looking for Nick Kyrgios his seventh title here and his 21st major tournament overall, one less than Rafa Nadal and more than Roger Federer.
The Serb recovered from a terrible first set, in which he made 12 unforced mistakes, to straighten his course in the semi-finals and defeat a Norrie who was very forward-thinking and convinced by the crowd that he was one of the biggest surprises of the tournament. could get. Not because of the round, but because of the opponent, as Norrie is a complete novice at these types of scenarios and had never reached a Grand Slam semi-final until this Wimbledon.
Djokovic, in a serious and at times disoriented tone, annoyed by the sun and lacking the confidence of the crowd longing for his demise, managed to overcome Norrie’s push, who dominated one set but fell apart in the next three. Once Djokovic stopped wandering, the match was on his side. In fact, he made only four errors in the second set and five in the third. As soon as he lost the first set, he closed the tap on his serve and did not concede a single breakball.
His level skyrocketed and destabilized Norrie, who was no longer worth adding points and games to the public. Djokovic had devoured the podium and nothing could bring him down. It took him over two and a half hours to get the job done, but he sealed his place in the final without more mismatches. Not very smart, but with complete confidence in his game and in his ability to overcome adverse situations.
For Sunday, in what will be his eighth Wimbledon final and 32nd Grand Slam overall (one above Federer and Nadal), Djokovic will have to step it up. He faces a well-rested Nick Kyrgios, who was relieved from a semi-final against Rafael Nadal that was never played due to an injury to the Spaniard’s abdomen.
It will be the third clash against the team from Canberra, who have defeated them both times they have faced each other; in Acapulco 2017 and in Indian Wells 2017. This time it will be very different as for Kyrgios this will be his first final after 30 major matches. The troubled Aussie has found a way to channel his controversy and his tennis and it paid off in the best two weeks of his career. If he overthrew Djokovic, who has racked up 27 wins here, he would be doing Federer and Nadal a favor in the race to be the best in history.
