He was almost in a bad situation where he could not exert force on his forehand and backhand, and he did not even have any threat to serve; then Fritz did not take advantage of the victory After chasing and winning the game in one fell swoop, he couldn't bear it, restrained his hands and played cautiously all the way.

Although Fritz tied the majority in two sets and two sets, the progress of the game has not dared to exert force. Instead, it gave Djokovic more time to recover and adapt. As a result, in the final set, Djoko finally adapted to the pain. Vichy regained his strength and swept Fritz with a disparity of "6:2" to advance.
