this is because of the long match between Anderson and Isner that the 52nd match between Nowak and Nadal began on Friday and today was played. The Serb managed to get the first set after a key break in the seventh game for 4-3, then missed his lead and won 6-4.

However, there were strong moments after Djokovic, who managed to tie at 3-3. In the end, a new series of three consecutive victories won by Nadal guarantees him to win the set 6-3, making the game a decisive fifth.
