The German struggled in the last match of the Serbian ace, but today this was not the case, since Djokovic dominated from the beginning to the end of the match, with a small drop at the start of the second set.
Noavk thus got into a situation where he is fighting for the 101st title in his career. If he wins the trophy, he will get even closer to Roger Federer (103). However, the record holder Jimmy Connors is still far away (109).

Djokovic was great in this match, especially in the first set, which he broke in six games when he used the third break opportunity (fourth in total). He was sure of his serve until the end and came within a step of triumph.
In the second part of the match, the current 117th on the ATP list struck first. He managed to take away the serve of the 38-year-old from Belgrade in the fourth game and lead with 1:3, but the winner of 24 Grand Slam titles already responded in the next game and returned what he had lost.
From that moment on, Novak raised the level of his game. Hanfmann had no answer, so Djokovic broke for the second time in a row and then calmly ended the match that lasted 80 minutes.

How much Djokovic cares about reaching the end in Athens is shown by the fact that he often celebrated points with great elation.
With this victory, Djokovic reached his 144th final on the ATP Tour, and his 95th on concrete.
In the final, he will meet the winner of the duel Sebastian Korda (USA) – Lorenzo Musetti (Italy).
