The seven-time champion beat the 25th seed Lorenzo Musetti 6-4, 7-6 (2), 6-4 and Djokovic said: ‘Hopefully I’ll get my hands on the trophy on Sunday’
Seven-time champion beats 25th seed 6-4, 7-6 , 6-4revealed that he had undergone knee surgery on 5 June after sustaining a meniscus tear at Roland Garros, most of the players heading to Wimbledon probably breathed a sigh of relief; here, surely, was a chance for them to make a big run without worrying about meeting the seven-time champion.
Novak Djokovic, Elon Musk and others should grasp this: fame and public affection are not the same thing | Mark Borkowski, saying they were booing him under the guise of saying “Ruuune” in support of his opponent, Holger Rune. This time, when he turned his racket around to mimic playing the violin in celebration, the smattering of boos seemed more in jest and in any case, they were more than drowned out by huge cheers.
The 22-year-old Musetti, in his first slam semi-final, could not have done much more. He made only 22 unforced errors and used his backhand slice beautifully. Sadly, he also never looked like winning, Djokovic smothering his serve with his incredible returns, putting him under pressure in almost every service game. As well as Musetti dealt with it, and he also came up with some wonder-shots, he never managed to get far enough ahead in a set to make a serious dent in the the Serb’s game.
