Djokovic shows what’s been missing in Italian Open win

Associated Press  

ROME — It was just the type of scrambling, wear-down-the-opponent mentality and shot-making that took Novak Djokovic to within one match of a calendar-year Grand Slam in 2021. The top-ranked Djokovic brought the Foro Italico crowd to its feet with several memorable points in a 7-5, 7-6 win over Felix Auger-Aliassime to reach the Italian Open semifinals on Friday. In the women’s tournament, Iga Swiatek extended her winning streak to 26 matches by beating former U.S. Open champion Bianca Andreescu 7-6, 6-0. “I’m pretty happy that also the second set was more solid because it shows that I’m learning my lessons throughout the whole match.” Swiatek is attempting to win her fifth straight tournament and defend her title in Rome. Swiatek’s semifinal opponent will be third-seeded Aryna Sabalenka, who rallied past Amanda Anisimova 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 for her first victory over the American in five tries.
