Score, report, and key facts

1^st set.

Djokovic was in a great position at the beginning of the set to break Anderson in the 2^nd game (2-0) before consolidating his break and lead 3-0. Anyhow, the set was not over yet and there was more work to do for Djokovic to win the set as Anderson found the way to break back in the 7^th (3-4) game. Novak kept his cool before winning the set at the breaker at 5.

2^nd set.

Nothing could divide these 2 players in this set and therefore the pair went to fight for it in the breaker. Eventually, Novak won the breaker at 6.

Statistics

At the end of the match, the Serbian scored 96 points vs. Anderson’s 83 points.

Novak served very well to win 78% of the points (43/55) behind his first serve, and he won 68% points (13/19) on his second serve. The Serbian fired 10 aces and he committed 1 double fault. Novak won this match even if he was struggling in finding the solution in converting his break points since he converted only 13% (1/8). On the other side, Kevin was far from perfect in converting his break points since he converted only 25% of his break points (1/4). That was one of the key issues for his loss.
