What a shame. Nardi injured at the start of the 2nd TB, after not having allowed a single break point the whole match. Hopefully it doesn't force him to miss Florence and the rest of the season, just as he's starting to find his stride.

Either way, congrats on a fabulous performance today.

Sure enough, Nardi pulls out from Florence. Kid just cannot catch a break - literally the 5th time this year he has been sidelined by... something (2 injuries, stomach bug, 2 "covids").

His MD WC is passed down to the mercurial Zeppieri.

Med isn't doing anything special to be honest. He's just being an unbreakable wall that's waiting for RBA to commit errors.

Novak's backhand hasn't looked this good in a long long time. He seems to be even more dangerous after breaks.
2023 is looking more like 2021 than 2022.
 
Djokovic will need his very best against meddy. As med seems in that brick wall mood where he doesn’t miss and gets to a lot of shots.

Meddy likes these court conditions too. Novak will need to play a clean game, with few errors and use his variety a lot to get the Russian more out his comfort zone. It will be a close one. Looking forward to it!

to see both guys in form.

Good tournament, wish I had more time to watch and pay attention. Semifinals are both double digit H2Hs, Tsitsipas-Rublev 5-4 in their tenth ATP Tour meeting and Djokovic-Medvedev 6-4 in their eleventh ATP Tour meeting.

Yeah both matches will be close. Looking forward to it! There should be some great tennis on display

Yep. Nice lineup for semis. (y)

Not sure how much they paid out in appearance fees but I don't think they could really ask for better semi final field.

Impressive first set from Rublev where he was outplaying **** from the back of the court. He just couldn't keep up that level throughout sets 2 and 3. In the end, a couple of loose service games made the difference. **** making his first serves was also huge.

Djokovic gets code violation warning for throwing his racket into the crowd, which he did in jest and which the crowd loved, lol.

A great cat and mouse point which Djokovic wins with a delicate lob. Then a good dropshot and angled scoop shot by the Djoker.
