Zverev broke serve in the very first game. It turned out that this was enough for him to win the first set. Novak had his only break opportunity in the eighth game to get back into the set, but he failed, and the German took the lead in sets after 46 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the end of the first set, it was clear that Novak was raising his level of play. This was evident at the start of the second set. \u0110okovi\u0107 made his first break of the match in the fourth game. It turned out to be a copy of the first set, where one break decided the set.
