1/4 Final Report:
Deyo's opponent was the Australian hare De Minaur, and after two hours of fierce battle, the Serbian king won 7-5 6-4. So far, Novak has broken into the singles semifinals of the Monte Carlo Masters again after 9 years. At the same time, with this victory, Djokovic became the oldest semi-finalist of the tournament at the age of 37, and surpassed Nadal to advance to the semi-finals of 1,000 tournaments (76 times), becoming the new all-time first player with 77 times.
In the other semi-final match, Ruud took on France's Ember and won 6-3 4-6 6-1 in three sets.
Sinner, the other favourite, lived up to expectations, facing Danish star Rune, who also beat Rune 6-4 6-7(6) 6-3 in three sets to reach the semi-finals of the tournament for the second consecutive year, and also reached the semi-finals of the Masters in three consecutive tournaments this season (Indian Wells semi-finals, Miami champions). It has to be said that after winning the Grand Slam (Australian Open), Sinner has completely let go of his hands, and now the Italians are even more powerful than the Spanish rising star Alcaraz.
There was also a semi-final clash between two-time champion Tsitsipas and Russia's Khachanov, and there were not many twists and turns, as Greek star Tsitsipas won in straight sets 6-4 6-2 to extend his record with Khachanov to 8-1.
Next semi-final matchups:
Djokovic vs Ruud
Sinner vs Tsitsipas
It is worth mentioning that Djokovic and Sinner are both favourites to win this tournament. Djokovic, in particular, is a two-time champion (2013 and 2015). If he wins this season, he will break three all-time records:
1. Champion of the 41st Masters level event
2. Win the third round of all 9 Masters level events
3. 1,100 tour-level victories, second only to Federer (1,251)
Of course, in addition to Djokovic having to pass Ruud, Italian star Sinner will not let him get his wish easily. After beating Djokovic for the first time in the second round of the group stage of last season's year-end finals, Sinner defeated Djokovic twice in a row in the Davis Cup and the Australian Open, which also deprived the Serbian king of absolute dominance over the Italians.
Currently, Djokovic is ranked No. 1 in the world and Sinner is ranked No. 2 in the world. In this regard, fans are also very much looking forward to the two successfully meeting in the finals and staging a peak showdown!
