"It was an incredibly close match. It was really anybody's match. I thought I was really lucky to save some crucial break points in the second set. I think for most of the second and third sets he was the better player. That last game was nerve-wracking. A tough one for Taylor to finish with a double fault, he didn't deserve that," said Djokovic after securing a victory against Fritz in the quarters.
