Sinner ran away with a game score of 3-0, and Djokovic struggled to keep his serve game after two deuces, but Jannik Sinner won three games in a row and took the first set in just 35 minutes.

Djokovic's counterattack was expected in the second set, but Sinner instead broke Djokovic's serve game with the game score at 1-1, and the set score became 2-0 1 hour and 13 minutes after the start of the match.

However, Djokovic's defeat deepened as Sinner took 3 games in the 4th set with the game score at 1-1, and in the end, Djokovic failed to advance to the finals after showing a rare lethargy in which he could not find a single break point that day.

By the second set, the number of errors was 29-8, which was more than three times as many as Djokovic's, so it was virtually a complete victory for Sinner.
