However, the first set started well for the third-ranked Swiss. Federer broke Djokovic's serve immediately and went off to a 2-0 lead. The 38-year-old looked surprisingly well, despite his tough semi-final against American Tennys Sandgren, which lasted for over three and a half hours.
Serbian Novak Djokovic has not been as tough in terms of length in his matches and has not lost a single set since the first round.
However, the first set in the semi-finals became a real jerk. Djokovic fought his way back from a 1-4 sub, and it went straight to a tie break decision. Once there, Djokovic showed great class and easily won by 7-1.
Other sets continued to offer really good tennis but where Djokovic was often the winner in the important duels. The men pulled evenly until Djokovic broke to 5-4 and then held out in the second which meant 2-0 in the set.
The key to breaking the stars in the strong service of the stars. Something that Djokovic succeeded in going 4-2 in the third, which also became a deciding match.
The 32-year-old then held his serve stone hard and hit the match-defining ball after 2 hours and 18 minutes on the center court.
In the final awaits Austrian Dominic Thiem, who beat world champion Rafael Nadal yesterday.
