Cincinnati – semifinals
Clay, hard indoors, grass, hard outdoors – in this order Novak Djokovic and Juan Martin del Potro have played their last four matches – outcome of this competition 2:2 (Djokovic leads 5-2 overall). Del Potro could afford to play backhand slices against Troicki and pushing backhands against Chardy, however, to be a competitor against Djokovic, the Argentine needs to hit backhands even harder than against most of very good players as he did it in their bronze medal match two weeks ago. His left wrist was bothering him, competed with the Serb clearly beneath the required level, and after 87 minutes Djokovic advanced to the final by a 6-3 6-2 margin. Del Potro: “I had I think six break points in the match and I didn’t take any one. Against Novak or the top players, if you don’t take your opportunities, you will lose for sure. I think he played much better than me today basically in the important moments or the break points. He was too good for me.”
