Djokovic defeated Dimitrov to advance to the final of the Miami Masters
In the semi-finals of the Miami Masters, Djokovic defeated Dimitrov 6-2, 6-3 to advance to the final. He is just one step away from his 100th career tour title.
In this match, Dimitrov clearly has not fully recovered from the extreme physical exertion of the previous round. Although he had an extra day off than Djokovic, Djokovic was the more energetic one on the pitch.
It was a quick win that took just 1:09 minutes. Throughout the game, Djokovic seemed to be just there waiting for Dimitrov to make a mistake. Dimitrov's winning points to unforced errors ratio was 14:32. This is already out of the normal range. Djokovic, on the other hand, is 10:5.
It can be seen that Djokovic hardly attacked. Erdimitrov seemed to have exhausted all his fighting spirit and talent in the last round against Serundolo.
In this match, Dimitrov is in charge of "Friendship First" and Djokovic is in charge of "Match Second".
In this game, Djokovic's first-serve goal rate was as high as 87%. This is a statistic that has little to do with the opponent's form, and it reaches the service level of yesterday's two aces, Fritz and Berrettini (86%, 87%).
I felt that the situation of this game was beyond Murray's expectations, and he probably didn't expect it to go so well. Alas! Dimitrov is also 34 years old after all, and he did not return to normal levels so quickly after a deep physical overdraft. Besides, this level of competition requires the best physical condition.
Messi came to watch the game. But isn't it a bit of a shame that this game isn't exciting enough?
Let's take a look at the content of the post-match interview:
Today Messi came to watch the game. He must be very impressed with your 87% success rate on your first serve. How confident do you feel when you're on the pitch?
You're now just one win away from another major milestone – 100 titles. How much has this goal inspired you over the past few weeks?
Djokovic's path to the final:
First round bye.
In the second round, he defeated Australia's Rin Toki 6-0, 7-6(1).
In the third round, they defeated Argentina's Carabelli 6-1, 7-6(2).
In the fourth round, they defeated 15th seed Musetti 6-2, 6-2.
In the quarter-finals, he defeated No.24 seed Koda 6-3, 7-6(4).
In the semi-finals, he defeated 14th seed Dimitrov 6-2, 6-3.
So far, no top 10 players have been encountered. Djokovic has not conceded a set in five matches. From the quarterfinals onwards, the opponents of the game are completely different from those deduced according to the draw table before the game. The reason is that Medvedev (7), Ruud (5), Alcaraz (2) and other big seeds have been eliminated early.
Since 2006, Djokovic has reached tour-level finals for 20 consecutive seasons. Federer did this from 2000-2019, also for 20 consecutive seasons.
However, Federer won a total of 103 Tour titles during that period. Connors won 109 titles in the 19 years from 1971-1989.
Will that be what Djokovic is after? It seems that it is not yet from his many expressions last year. But at the very least, he'll be all for his 100th career title!
Looking forward to Sunday's finals!
