“How much of a worry is it? I don’t know. It’s not like I’m worrying approaching every grand slam now whether I’m going to get injured or not, but statistics are against me, in a way, in the last couple of years,” Djokovic said. But Zverev, who has reached his third grand slam final after runs to the decider in New York in 2020 and Roland Garros last year, implored fans sitting courtside to show some respect.
It was an arduous opening set that lasted 81 minutes, with both players trading service breaks in a semi-final that featured several extended rallies. “I knew even if I won the first set, it was going to be a huge uphill battle for me. I don’t think I had that, unfortunately, in the tank.”
