DJOKOVIC INTO THE FINALS

Bombarding Gasquet with his lethal backhands, Joker has eased past his way in for the 4th time in 5 years, finishing the match in straight sets, 7-6(2), 6-4, 6-4.
“It was a very good performance, considering the occasion,” Djokovic said.
Djokovic was remedied twice on court by a trainer as he advanced to finish of the 2nd set, but didn’t stop until he got hold of the 3rd.
“It’s nothing that worries me, honestly,” Djokovic said. “It’ll be fine for the next match.”

The top-ranked Serb is now one win away from a third Wimbledon championship and ninth major title. Awaiting him in Sunday’s final will be either Roger Federer or Andy Murray.
“I’m definitely living the dream, being here in Wimbledon, playing in the most renowned tennis court in the world,” Djokovic said. “I try to take the best out of myself and I have a responsibility to play well and just glad to reach another final.”

Djokovic, playing in his sixth consecutive Wimbledon semifinal and seventh overall, extended his dominance over the 29-year-old Gasquet to 12-1. He has dropped just one set to the Frenchman in their last 10 meetings – none in their three Grand Slam matches.
Talking about the match analytically, the two players held serve for the rest of the set to force a tiebreaker, but Djokovic won five straight points from 2-2 to take control. He then broke in the first game of the second set and was in front the rest of the way.

“Richard had a great tournament, deserved to be in the semis,” Djokovic said. “Things could have gone his way, also, the first set, but I think that was the turning point for me.”
Djokovic finished with 12 aces. Down with 15-30 while serving for the second set, he came up with back-to-back aces – both exceeding 120 miles per hour .

Gasquet saved two match points to hold serve and stay within 5-4 in the third set, but Djokovic served out the match at love in the next game, closing with a forehand winner.
