Novak Djokovic beats Juan Martin del Potro to reach the final of the ATP World Tour Finals

the first set he lost

Novak Djokovic defeated the Argentine Juan Martin del Potro in the semi-final of the ATP World Tour Finals yesterday to reach the final but not with ease. Del Potro was not gifting Djokovic a route to the last final of the year; he put up a good fight against the world number one which caused some questions early on about whether or not Djokovic would be in the contest at the end of the match. Djokovic reigned victorious over del Potro 4-6 6-3 6-2 but he had to fight back from behind to get there.

Novak Djokovic came through the Round Robin with a clean sheet so Juan Martin del Potro knew he had a tough match to play. However, despite him being the lower ranked and favourite to lose, he got off to a flying start against the world number one smashing shots which the Serbian struggled to return. Djokovic managed to hold his own serve up until 4-4 where del Potro deservedly broke the serve and from then comfortably served out for a first set victory.

Juan Martin del Potro continued his fine form into the second set narrowly missing the chance to break Djokovic’s serve early on. From that moment onwards Djokovic gradually improved adapting to the play of the Argentine and knowing how to return effectively in order to win points. Djokovic came back to defeat del Potro in a 3 set thriller and book his place in the final of the ATP World Tour Finals against the Swiss maestro Roger Federer.

Djokovic commented on the tennis match saying, “I believed that I could come back. I believed that I could turn this match around in my favour and I've done so. I've played, from that moment on when I got the break back, very flawless tennis. That makes me very happy and also confident before the final.”
