Novak Djokovic once again demonstrated this Sunday that one should never count him out. The Serbian came back against Alexander Zverev in the quarter-finals of the ATP 500 in Beijing, and his wife, Jelena Djokovic, reacted on social media with two words that perfectly summarized the emotions experienced during the match.

“Idemoooooooooooo breeee!”, Jelena wrote on her Instagram account. A celebration as brief as it was expressive after a match in which the six-time China Open champion had to overcome a difficult start and several moments of high tension. If there was a match to celebrate for everything surrounding it, this was undoubtedly the one.

A comeback that is trademark Djokovic

Djokovic started with problems, committing two double faults in the opening moments and quickly relinquishing his serve. Zverev seized the opportunity and ended up taking the first set 6-4, primarily thanks to the power of his serve, with which he recorded 19 aces during the match. The second set remained even until the decisive stretch. Just when it seemed that the German had the situation under control, Djokovic found his opportunity at 5-4 and achieved the break he needed to level the match.

The story repeated itself in the third set. The Serbian withstood the pressure, broke Zverev's serve again at 5-4, and closed out the match after two hours and 35 minutes. Moreover, he saved a match point during the final set before completing a comeback that keeps his historical unbeaten streak in Beijing intact. A 32-0 record that had never been seen before by any player in any tournament.

Now Djokovic will seek a new final in the Chinese tournament, but first, he must overcome Daniil Medvedev in a few hours. After what was seen against Zverev, it seems that today Jelena will have more reasons to shout again: “Idemoooooo!”
