Our best tennis player has been performing very well so far at Bercy Hall, deservedly reaching his second Masters 1000 series final and first since 2017, when he became champion in Cincinnati after defeating Australian Nick Kyrgios.
This is Grisho’s 13th fight against Nole, with whom they are close friends. In the meetings so far, the Joker has an advantage of 11:1 in the overall balance. Grigor Dimitrov’s only victory to date over Djokovic was recorded exactly 10 years ago. At the Masters 1000 tournament in Madrid, the Bulgarian won 7:6 (6), 6:7 (8), 6:3.
Grisho reached the final in Paris, eliminating world No. 3 Daniil Medvedev (Russia), No. 11 Hubert Hurkach (Poland), No. 22 Lorenzo Musetti (Italy), No. 33 Alexander Bublik (Kazakhstan), and yesterday Stefanos Tsitsipas (Greece ), which is #6.
NOVAK DJOKOVIC – GRIGOR DIMITROV 5:4 in the first set
FIRST SET
Grigor Dimitrov took his serve at the beginning of the match and led 1:0, and after the end of the first game, Djokovic showed that he had a slight problem with his lenses, which he quickly resolved. Both were winning their service games, and Nole made it 3:3 after a game to zero. The Serbian took advantage of the hesitant performances of the Bulgarian in the seventh game and for the first breakthrough in the final – 4:3 for Djokovic. The world No. 1 consolidated it and led with 5:3.
