A double fault is followed by backhand errors. Very unlike him. <\/p>\n<p>Djokovic settles on the break point. Fritz is again forced into a defensive position and nets. Djokovic gets the hold. Fritz is getting some early looks but is not taking them. <\/p>\n<p>Jamie Braidwood3 September 2025 01:29<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#post-2184548\" class=\"sc-1wyow5i-1 eRBxyC\"><\/a>BREAK! *Novak Djokovic 2-0 Taylor Fritz<\/p>\n<p>Djokovic gets the opening break! An aggressive return game from the 38-year-old to the Fritz backhand. Fritz saved the first two break points, finding an excellent forehand winner on the first, but was let down with errors on deuce points. <\/p>\n<p>On the third break point, Djokovic catches the line with a wide forehand. Fritz nets on the defensive. <\/p>\n<p>Already, the big points are going Djokovic\u2019s way.
