Touching distance from the 21st Grand Slam: Novak Djokovic made a big step tonight (Friday) on the way to reaching the top of the titles Rafael Nadal, after beating British Cameron Nuri 6: 2, 3: 6, 2: 6, 2: 6 in the semifinals Wimbledon.
The Serb, who is ranked 3rd in the world and 1st in the tournament, will meet Nick Kirius in the final on Sunday, who rose to prominence thanks to the retirement of the injured Rafael Nadal.
In the final, the 35-year-old Djokovic will try to achieve his 21st Grand Slam title of his career, which will differentiate him from Roger Federer, who also stands at 20, and bring him closer to the record holder, Rafa Nadal, who stands at 22. He will try to win the title on the grass in All England Club for the seventh time in their careers, making their eighth appearance in the final, thus completing a comeback after last turbulent year, including his farce of relegation from the Australian Championship due to his refusal to get vaccinated against Corona.

On the other hand, Nuri, who is ranked 9th in the tournament, finishes a tournament very well for him in a conceivable loss, after a game he started well.
He will seek his first career victory over Djokovic on another occasion, after losing to him a second time.
At the start of the game, the pressure seemed to affect Djokovic.
Nuri got a break already in the first game, broke once more and finished the campaign with a surprising 2: 6, taking advantage of Nola's uncharacteristic heaviness.
It was a turning point for the Serb, who recovered in the second set.
He won the first game on zero, achieving the break in the eighth game en route to a 3: 6 victory.
From here it was a one-man game: Nuri tried, fought for every ball and did everything to challenge Djokovic, but the Serb got momentum and did not stop.
He opened the final set with a quick break, and went on to win 4: 6 in the campaign.
