【World Ranking】

Djokovic, who is currently ranked No. 2 in the world, has also become the top seed in the men's singles at the Olympics due to the withdrawal of world No. 1 Sinner. Tsitsipas, on the other hand, is ranked 11th in the world and is seeded 8th in the men's singles at this Olympics.

【Confrontation Situation】

Previously, the two sides had met 13 times, with Djokovic holding the upper hand with 11 wins and 2 losses. Previously, Djokovic had won 10 straight matches against Tsitsipas, with the most recent meeting coming in last year's Australian Open men's singles final, when Djokovic won in straight sets.

【Contest Review】

In the first set, Djokovic broke first in the fourth game and held serve in the fifth game to establish a 4-1 lead. After that, both sides held serve, and Djokovic won his own serve in the ninth game to win the set 6-3.

In the second set, Deyo was once broken twice in a row and fell behind 0-4 at the beginning, but he completed the breakback in the 6th and 9th games to chase down to 5 draws. In the 9th game, Deyo saved Tsitsipas 3 set points and successfully broke back, and in the subsequent tie-break, Deyo reversed 7-3 in the unfavorable situation of falling behind 0-2, and finally eliminated Tsitsipas 2-0 and advanced to the top 4.

【Next Round Opponent】

In the semi-finals, Djokovic will once again face Italy's Musetti, who has played each other seven times before, with Djokovic winning 6-1. Deyo had never reached an Olympic final before, so this time he will be hoping to break the spell.
