Except for his first service game, Tsitsipas was in top form throughout the entire match and put Djokovic under intense pressure.
While the world number one managed to hold on to the one break to take the first set, Tsitsipas then gained confidence and showed what he is capable of in the next two sets to down Djokovic.
Bravo Stefanos!
