Showing no sign of the physical problems that troubled him during his previous match, Djokovic was initially dominant and poised for a routine win when he had a match point at 5-4 in the third set. His dream of becoming the first Greek player to reach a Grand Slam final faded away as Djokovic calmly re-asserted his authority against a physically-struggling opponent.The Serb advanced to his 27th Grand Slam final where he will meet Nadal for the ninth time in a Grand Slam final and 56th time in total.
“We have to congratulate Stefanos for this great battle,” Djokovic, whose sole French title came in 2016, said on Court Philippe Chatrier. Tsitsipas, contesting his second Grand Slam semi-final, began by squandering three break points in Djokovic's opening service game and that became a theme for the Greek.
Tsitsipas finally converted a break point at the 11th time of his asking when a Djokovic forehand went long and then struck a forehand winner to break again for the set two games later.
