has saved a match point on the way to beating world No.33 Sebastian Korda in an epic three-set thriller at the Adelaide International 1 final.
After the hotly contested first set didn’t go Djokovic’s way, he unleashed a sensational outburst at his players’ box, even ordering two members of his entourage - including his brother - to leave.“He got angry. It’s unusual,” Rasheed said. “He pointed to his box and two out of five members are no longer sitting there.
“I’m sure they didn’t have a blast with me going back and forth with them. My brother Mark was also here, I don’t see him that much. So, I appreciate you coming here, Mark. Love you.“I gave it my all today and all week to get my hands on the trophy.” The first set was an absorbing affair featuring numerous momentum swings and set points to both players.
