Novak has always been a steadier player and a great defender. But he always finds it hard to compete against Medvedev as he lost 4 matches in the previous 9 matches against him. The last night's final was a neck-to-neck competition.
Both the finalists were playing exceptionally, but it was Djokovic who advanced in the third set, took the advantage of the situation, and had a 3-2 lead. A few casualties and errors of Medvedev helped the Serbian with the double break at 5-2. Though Novak failed to serve it out at the first attempt as the Russian got one of the breaks back.
