Novak Djokovic, on his 38th birthday, secured his place in the semi-finals of the Geneva Open this Thursday, defeating Matteo Arnaldi, who eliminated him in the Madrid Masters last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Djokovic demonstrated a great comeback in the second set, achieving a victory with scores of 6-4, 6-4 over Arnaldi, ranked 39th in the world, in the quarter-final match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The second seed, Djokovic, reacted with frustration by smashing his racket against the ground after losing his serve and falling 3-1 behind in the second set, after sending a backhand long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I apologize for the racket, it’s not a good example, especially for young people. Thank you for your support. I know it’s not easy to be here in the low temperatures.<\/p>Djokovic<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Despite being 4-1 down, and after appearing to suffer a right knee injury while attempting a shot, Djokovic won five consecutive games to secure the victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He seized his first opportunity to close out the match when Arnaldi sent a forehand wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was much closer than the score suggests.<\/p>Djokovic<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
On a cold and rainy day that represented a challenge for the highest-ranked players, Taylor Fritz, the top seed, was defeated by Hubert Hurkacz, sixth seed, with a score of 6-3, 7-6 (5). Karen Khachanov, fourth seed, also suffered a defeat against the 128th-ranked Sebastian Ofner, with a result of 4-6, 6-4, 6-4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Djokovic’s opponent in the semifinals will be the winner of the match between Alexei Popyrin, the fifth seed, and Cameron Norrie, coming from the qualifying phase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
