Obviously, the holidays have been good for Novak Djokovic. If we had not really been able to judge his level after a month of competition during his first match (abandonment of Alejandro Davidovich Fokina), the correction inflicted on Gaël Monfils (6-2, 6-3) gave an idea of the form of the world No. 2. And he confirmed it against Taylor Fritz on the Center Court of the Lindner Family Tennis Center which hosts the Cincinnati Masters 1000.
Launched at full speed, Djokovic cooled the patriotic ardor of the public by inflicting a terrible 6-0 on Fritz in 21 minutes. Certainly the American did not offer much, but it was mainly because he was completely stifled by a Djokovic who was playing at a much higher level. The Serb was truly untouchable.
If he relaxed at the start of the second set, giving Fritz a break and allowing him to stay in contact, he was able to be surgical in the last game, when Fritz had to be broken to win the match. Great art and great Djokovic. In any case, he poses as a strong man in the picture. He will find, still in the night session, Alexander Zverev, who beat Adrian Mannarino, in the semi-finals.
