Novak Djokovic vs. Denis Shapovalov’s live score, updates, highlights of the 2021 Wimbledon semi-finals

This is not easy. Even Dennis Shapovalov knew it.

“Well, obviously he is the best player in the world, but, you know, I think,” the Canadian said, then stopped, and showed another when the crowd followed him after his five-set quarter-final victory. a smile. “Everything is possible. When you first look at the scoreboard, no matter what it is, it will be 0-0 on Friday. That’s it. Nothing else matters. This is a tennis game and it can be played in any way. ….. I think everything is possible.”

indeed.

Facing Novak Djokovic, the world’s No. 1 goal is to place 20th in the Grand Slam champion, which is no easy task. Especially when Djokovic won half of the Grand Slam distance after winning the Australian Open and French Open, he could even win the gold medal in a few weeks. Rather than when this person “officially” has won six games against you, and you have only won two sets in these games.

But the problem is that this is not the same Shapovalov.

The Richmond Hill, Ontario native has shown maturity and growth this season, especially in the All England Club. At the 2020 US Open, he learned from five heartbreaks, and he even noticed this after defeating Karen Khachanov in the quarterfinals. Showcasing a more comprehensive game, a calmer game, the left-hander has put aside any questions he raised. And, in order to guide, he has defeated a legend in this game-and the crowd-has packed his hometown hero Andy Murray in the third round.

In addition, there is one thing he can learn from.

As mentioned earlier, he “officially” faces a 0-6 record against Djokovic. But this is not the whole story. why? Because the duo will have another meeting that is not counted in the ATP Tour. As early as 2019, they faced off in a Wimbledon match called The Boodles. The final score is 7-6(3), 6-4. Winner, champion? Dennis Shapovalov.
