Between his two smooth serve matches, Tsitsipash kept two break points in the first, but the Greek had already failed on his second serve – and with another smooth spurt, the favorite was already gone. 4:1.

His rival, under the age of 11, finally won two matches in which the Serb had no chance of a break, but he had no chance as host, which decided the fate of the first group. (63).

A bit of a stumbling block – both figuratively and literally, Cicipasz never used his playing ball

The Greek started the second season with a confident serve, and after 2: 1 both players managed to turn the tables from 15:30. In the middle of the match, Djokovic could have had two break points, but he fell behind, and due to his previous injury, the concern seemed justified – in the end, he managed to continue without any problems.

He won two more games with the ball because of the momentum, but he started to make mistakes, the Serb scored three points and had a chance to equalise, and although he didn’t use it yet, he did in the next game (1: 1).

Since then, the field has become the server’s again, the next two games were more challenging, and the next games were won smoothly, so Djokovic always had a step advantage, and Tsitsipas had to fight to stay in the match at 5:4 and 6:5 – he succeeded in twice.
