Djokovic stands in the final of Wimbledon and threatens Nadal

Novak Djokovic threatens Federer Y Nadal. The Serbian tennis player defeated in three sets Denis Shapovalov in the semifinals of Wimbledon (7-5, 7-6 and 7-5) and will fight next Sunday to lift his twentieth Grand Slam and match the two giants of world tennis. Matteo Berrettini, which beat Hubert Hurkacz, will be Djokovic’s rival in the Wimbledon grand final after becoming the first Italian in the last 45 years to reach the last match of a Grand Slam.

Despite the final score, the match needed the best version of the world’s number one. Novak Djokovic demonstrated reliability and experience against a fighter Shapovalov, who fought all three sleeves of the match. Despite reaching the ninth game of the first set with a lead of a break (3-5), Djokovic pulled veteran and patience to force the tiebreaker and take the first set in the tie break. The face of his adversary showed his spirits after squandering a good advantage in the spotlight.

For its part, equality was the dominant trend in the second set. None of the tennis players gave up their serve until the eleventh game, in which a double fault condemned Shapovalov. History was repeating itself and the Canadian returned to give a gift to the number one in the world, which of course did not fail. Djokovic took the second set and hit the table to be next Sunday in the grand final of Wimbledon in view of Matteo Berrettini.

It put Djokovic 2-0 in the Wimbledon semi-finals, but Shapovalov did not give up. The number 12 in the world continued to fight in a third sleeve in which equality was once again the main protagonist. The London public wanted the Canadian to force the fourth set, but again the veteran of number one prevailed. As in the second set, Shapovalov succumbed in the eleventh game to hand the match over to Novak Djokovic, who will fight on Sunday against Berrettini to equal Nadal Y Federer con 20 Grand Slams.
