“It was tough, particularly in the first seven, eight games of the match. But I think breaking his serve to come back to two-all and break right away at 3-2, it was a momentum shift and I tried to use that,” said Djokovic.
In the women’s singles, World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka battled back in the second set to blast her way into the semi-finals with a 6-2, 7-5 win over China’s Zheng Qinwen. She will face Italy’s Jasmine Paolini in the semis.
