Novak Djokovic often explains that the most important thing in a tennis match is to stay in the moment, never project yourself, and this in order to manage your emotions as well as possible so that they do not foil you.
Faced with the young Danish Holger Vitus Nodskov Rune, 18, the world number 1 has therefore once again seen that this method was effective especially in a second set where he was heckled by his opponent but also by the public who chanted ” Rune Rune Rune ”.
But the young Danish prospect, who came out of two consecutive victories as a challenger on clay and qualifying, was at his wit’s end.
At the start of 3th set, he had no more gas, he was cramped on every exchange worthy of the name.
In the end, Djokovic won 6–1 6–7 (5), 6–2, 6–1. He only has 6 steps left to find the holy grail. In the next round he will face the Dutchman Tallon Griekspoor, surprise winner in 5 rounds of Struff.
