In the second set, Fritz created many opportunities but failed to capitalize on them. Djokovic steadfastly defended his serve, even breaking in game 7. Although the fourth seed managed to level the score with a break in game 10, he made too many mistakes and lost the advantage immediately after that, ending the second set with a 5-7 defeat.

In the third set, the match was balanced, then suddenly there was a surprise: Djokovic was affected by the crowd's psychology and lost the break. Seizing the opportunity, Fritz confidently served and won 6-3, shortening the gap.
