Novak Djokovic and Stefanos Tsitsipas meet in a match in the quarterfinals of the ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Rome. The match will be played on Friday, not before 13:30.

Djokovic N. : Form, news and statistics

Djokovic started the year with a new grand slam title, the 18th of his career. The Serb won for the ninth time at the Australian Open, where he beat Daniil Medvedev in the last act, with the score of 3-0 in sets. The slag season was not a very profitable one for Nole, who stopped in the round of 16 in Monte Carlo (defeat to Daniel Evans) and in the semifinals in Belgrade (defeat to Aslan Karatsev). In Rome, a tournament he has won five times so far, Djokovic passed in the first two matches of Taylor Fritz and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, without giving up the set.

fter having some disappointing results at the start of the slag season, Novak Djokovic showed solid tennis at this tournament, even if he has not yet met an opponent who could cause him problems. The situation will change in the game with Stefanos Tsitsipas, the Greek being one of the fittest players in 2021. If he manages to respect his opponent, through an offensive game, Djokovic should prevail in this confrontation and qualifies in the “ace square” in Rome.

Tsitsipas S. : Form, news and statistics

Both players looked good in 2021. Tsitsipas has a record of 31 wins and 7 losses (14-2 on clay), the best result being the title won at Monte Carlo. Also this season, the athlete from Greece played two more finals, at Acapulco and Barcelona, ​​but also two semifinals, at the Australian Open and Rotterdam. In Rome, Stefanos did not give up a set until this phase, passing in turn by Marin Cilic (7-5, 6-2) and Matteo Berrettini (7-6, 6-2).
