5:59 p.m .: Djokovic – Ruud 7: 6, 6: 3, 3: 4

Djokovic is better in the match than in the first half of set one. Ruud plays more stable than in set two. It’s the best phase of the game except the end of the first set. With the smash, Ruud converts to 4:3. Everything remains open in sentence three.

5:50 p.m .: Djokovic – Ruud 7: 6, 6: 3, 2: 3

5:39 p.m .: Djokovic – Ruud 7: 6, 6: 3, 1: 1

At the beginning of the third set, Ruud often looks for the way to the net. The rallies are getting shorter, the Norwegian is looking for quick points. Djokovic gets the breakball at 1: 1 with the longline, but he cannot transform it.

5:25 p.m .: Djokovic – Ruud 7: 6, 6: 3

Ruud’s slice lands in the net. Three more set balls for Djokokovic. And with the backhand from the baseline he closes the sack. 6: 3 for Djokovic in the second round and thus 2: 0 after sets.

5:16 p.m .: Djokovic – Ruud 7: 6, 5: 2

At 15:30 from the point of view of the serving Djokovic, Ruud has his chances and can earn breakballs. But then he hits a backhand crossball twice in a row. Then he has some bad luck when an emergency shot from Djokovic jumps onto the line and promptly misses the smash. But the Norwegian missed a few opportunities here.

5:10 p.m .: Djokovic – Ruud 7: 6, 4: 2

Since the end of the first round, Ruud’s number of mistakes has increased relatively significantly. It is all the more important that the Norwegian keeps up with Djokovic. Among other things, he convinces with a nice longline passing shot and shortens it to 2:4.

4:59 p.m .: Djokovic – Ruud 7: 6, 3: 1

Ruud stays tuned. The Norwegian easily wins the game to 1:3 in the second set.

4:52 p.m .: Djokovic – Ruud 7: 6, 2: 0

Ruud can parry two break points. But after a hard-fought rally, Djokovic gets chance number three with the longline. From the baseline, the Serb acts at lightning speed and takes the service from his opponent. 2-0 Djokovic.

4:33 p.m .: Djokovic – Ruud 7: 6

Five set balls for Djokovic after an ace. And with the forehand winner from the half field, he immediately transforms the first. 7: 1 in the tie-break for Djokovic.

4:28 p.m.: Djokovic – Ruud 6: 6

Early mini-break for Djokovic in the tie-break to make it 1-0. Then Ruud has two chances for a mini-break, but Djokovic hits the slice in front of the racket once and makes the mistake once.

4:26 p.m.: Djokovic – Ruud 6: 6

Set one will be decided in the tie-break. With a nice stop, Djokovic turns 6: 6.

4:16 p.m .: Djokovic – Ruud 5: 5

Ruud plays a defensive tweeber as a lob and eventually gets the point. The smash ball that followed was difficult to play and Djokovic put it carefully into the field, which Ruud exploited with the crossball along the net. Djokovic still wins the game after 0:30 to 5: 5.

4:09 p.m .: Djokovic – Ruud 4: 5

Important for Ruud. The Norwegian has to go beyond the debut, but brings his game home to make it 5:4. With the winner on the net, he transforms the game ball in this overall very intense set.

4:01 p.m .: Djokovic – Ruud 4: 4

Very nice stop by Ruud. Last year’s finalist gets the next breakball. Then Djokovic shakes the overhead ball into the field, but Ruud’s passing shot is not powerful enough, and Djokovic converts the volley to 40:40. The Serb finally scored from the half field to make it 4:4.

3:52 p.m .: Djokovic – Ruud 3: 4

After two backhand errors by the Norwegian in a row, it is 15:30 when Ruud serves. Then Djokovic has every chance to get two breakballs on the net, but misses the smash. Ruud misses the forehand and Djokovic at least has a chance to break. A world-class rally follows, at the end of which Ruud smashes the smash this time. Djokovic gets the break back!

3:42 p.m .: Djokovic – Ruud 1: 4

A short statistic that proves Djokovic’s weak initial phase. The Serb’s first serve has only come three times so far, and he has already made 13 mistakes without need. But that shouldn’t hide the fact that Ruud has shown a great game so far. The Norwegian acts patiently and plays his running strength to the full. With the forehand longline he converts to 4:1.

3:34 p.m.: Djokovic – Ruud 0: 3

Ruud has to go over deuce after a double fault but eventually holds at love. With the game ball, Djokovic misses the return on the second serve. This once again underscores his overall weak start. Ruud starts much more consistently.

3:27 p.m.: Djokovic – Ruud 0: 2

Djokovic is still acting incorrectly. In the first two games, the Serb has already hit eight so-called unforced errors. So it is almost inevitable that the much more stable Ruud takes over the service for him. 2:0 Ruud.

3:20 p.m.: Djokovic – Ruud 0: 1

Djokovic hasn’t quite found his rhythm yet. The Serb has already missed one or the other chance of winning a point. And after a forehand error, the two-time tournament winner has breakball against him, but he fends it off with a brave longline. It goes several times over debut.

3:14 p.m .: Djokovic – Ruud 0: 1

The match starts with serve Ruud. The Norwegian delivers his service without much difficulty. He turns the cue ball with a forehand winner from the baseline.
