After taking a two sets to none lead, the Greek could not stop the surging Serbian. βIt was difficult to readjust. I felt like I kind of lost my game a little bit. I really wish I could understand why things like this happened and evolved.β
βI kind of felt like he could read my game a bit better, suddenly,β Tstitsipas said of Djokovic’s game after the second set.
βWhat I learned today is that no matter what, in order for the match to be finished, you have to win three sets and not two. Two sets doesnβt really mean anything.β
