Forecast from LiveResult.ru

Djokovic showed a fantastic game against Nadal, but to win the trophy, he also needs to play against Tsitsipas, because the Greek is in great shape, and this season no one has managed to beat him quickly and easily. We have no doubt that Stefanos will fight and take at least one game, but to count on more, he needs to consistently serve well and make the Serb nervous and make mistakes. There will definitely be an intrigue, the meeting will be interesting and protracted.
