However, with all hierarchy, Djokovic brought out his magic. Although it is true that the “small” arrived with more than eight hours of rest, in the field of play of Rome did not notice the physical difference and in a very hard first partial, Nole could stay with the sack of Schwartzman and close for 6 to 3 the set.

In the second, it happened. With the match 2 to 2, the emerged of nautical Hacoaj remained with a key break but immediately erred in the definition and lost it. Similar situation was going to happen in the consecutive games and so the outcome was directed to the tiebreak, where the Argentinian wore out. The third set showed fatigue from both sides. Djokovic for the bill Pass decided not to run half of his opponent’s drops, but his defensive level and closures from the bottom were key. Still, Schwartzman ended up with two more winning hits, but suffered the unforced errors, vital to the only break in the third part and the road paved for the world’s number one.
Now, Rome will live the expected end. Djokovic and Nadal, 1 and 2 of the world, back face to face after the end of the Australian Open and another title in play where, this time, Rafa arrives as a candidate for present and, above all, rest time.
