Almost out of nowhere, Zverev crushed a series of backhands to get the break back. But instead of digging in, as tennis fans have seen Djokovic do so many times in big matches, Zverev completely took over the match and finished off the second set by winning 17 of the final 21 points.
Djokovic failed to regain his momentum in the third, struggling with his first serve and getting broken twice to fall behind 4-0 before stopping Zverev’s streak of eight straight games. Ultimately, Zverev finished the match with a third break of serve, crushing a backhand winner down the line on match point and covering his face with his hands in disbelief.
