Stefanos Tsitsipas and Novak Djokovic are having a rather complicated quarter-final in Rome. Their match was stopped numerous times on Friday because of the rain. Eventually, after so many times back and forth on and off the court, the encounter was postponed to Saturday (11 am).
Stefanos Tsitsipas is in a great position since he was leading for one set and a break (6-4 2-1). However, conditions will be completely different on Saturday and it will be interesting to see if Novak Djokovic can find the right tennis for staging yet another spectacular comeback.
