<\/a>*Novak Djokovic 6-3 7-5 1-2 Taylor Fritz<\/p>\n

So far following the same pattern of the second set where Fritz is cruising through service games and it feels like Djokovic is just biding his time…,<\/p>\n

<\/a>Novak Djokovic 6-3 7-5 1-1 Taylor Fritz*<\/p>\n

Compared to the actual chances Fritz has been presented with throughout tonight, 15-30 is only a look, but the American goes long on the backhand cheaply. <\/p>\n

He blasts through Djokovic to get to deuce but Djokovic locks in to win the next two points in a row and hold. Delivering when it counts, again. <\/p>\n

<\/a>*Novak Djokovic 6-3 7-5 0-1 Taylor Fritz<\/p>\n

It gets a little rocky for Fritz as he goes from 40-0 to deuce, but he keeps his cool to put away a forehand winner and get the hold. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s a long way back from here but that\u2019s a start. <\/p>\n

<\/a>SECOND SET! Novak Djokovic 6-3 7-5 Taylor Fritz*<\/p>\n

Through the first five or six games of the second set Fritz looked to be in complete control. He couldn\u2019t get the break when he was on top and when he did, Djokovic was already in front and the momentum had turned. <\/p>\n

1\/11 break points for Fritz so far, compared to 3\/6 for Djokovic. That is almost the difference. <\/p>\n

<\/a>SECOND SET! Novak Djokovic 6-3 7-5 Taylor Fritz*<\/p>\n

Fritz was right in the rally on 30-30 but his forehand is loose and Djokovic puffs out his cheeks! <\/p>\n

Set point for Djokovic. This would still be a steal. Fritz has mostly been on top in this second frame. <\/p>\n

Djokovic makes a stunning retrieval to his forehand side, sliding low to return the Fritz attack. <\/p>\n

Fritz nets and Djokovic takes it! He blows a couple of kisses to someone in the crowd, presumably a Fritz fan. <\/p>\n

<\/a>BREAK! *Novak Djokovic 6-3 6-5 Taylor Fritz<\/p>\n

Double fault from Fritz on the opening point… Then a poor forehand into the net! He\u2019s immediately under pressure and can\u2019t buy a serve. <\/p>\n

Another double-fault! Djokovic gets the break back, immediately. Oh dear, that\u2019s a gift from Fritz. <\/p>\n

Djokovic will get his second go at serving for the second set. <\/p>\n

<\/a>BREAK! Novak Djokovic 6-3 5-5 Taylor Fritz*<\/p>\n

\u201cFinally\u201d Fritz appears to say to himself as Djokovic slumps a drop shot into the net. <\/p>\n

Fritz gets his break, at the 10th opportunity of the match! And it means we are back on serve. <\/p>\n

Jamie Braidwood3 September 2025 02:54<\/p>\n

<\/a>*Novak Djokovic 6-3 5-4 Taylor Fritz<\/p>\n

This time, surely?! Fritz plays an excellent aggressive point to put away the smash and go 0-15 up. It\u2019s followed by a Djokovic double-fault, then Djokovic putting the volley into the net. <\/p>\n

This would just be cruel if Djokovic escapes. <\/p>\n

Jamie Braidwood3 September 2025 02:52<\/p>\n

<\/a>*Novak Djokovic 6-3 5-4 Taylor Fritz<\/p>\n

Over to Djokovic to serve for a two-set lead. <\/p>\n

Fritz has had chances for the break before. He\u2019s now desperate for one. <\/p>\n

Jamie Braidwood3 September 2025 02:48<\/p>\n

<\/a>Novak Djokovic 6-3 5-3 Taylor Fritz*<\/p>\n

Djokovic, of course, follows that break by immediately shutting the door on Fritz. <\/p>\n

An ace is slammed down the middle. <\/p>\n
