The current all-time men’s grand slam leader is off to a strong start in the match. He recently secured victories in the third and fourth games, managing to break Nadal’s serve for the second time. This has allowed him to establish a significant lead in the first set, preventing Nadal from scoring a single point in the third game.

While it may be earlier in the match than Nadal would have preferred, he now faces a pivotal moment as he strives to regain control. The pressure is mounting as Djokovic continues to assert his dominance on the court.
