The relative order that had prevailed in the first three sets broke at times early in the fourth.
What’s
players exchanged breaks Djokovic lost service and the calm that had accompanied him throughout the tournament. After an error stared at his technical team and threw the racket to the ground. It booed by the audience, raised his arms to apologize.
But that was just a mirage, as the greatest success and physical freshness of world number two prevailed Gulbis who committed a new excessive errors forced down the stretch.“When I come here to Paris for Roland Garros, I have great motivation and inspiration to play my best tennis. then it is difficult to know how to output the tournament, but on the track I give the most, “Djokovic said to door.

For its part, the Spanish Rafael Nadal, world number one and eight-time winner of Roland Garros, will defend his crown in Sunday’s final after winning Friday with overwhelming superiority Andy Murray (No.7).
Rafa Nadal found no rival in the center of Roland Garros to win in three sets 6-3, 6-2, 6-1 in one hour and 40 minutes.
In your favorite track (had to compete with disgust, two games on Suzanne Lenglen), the Spaniard displayed the combination of play, physical forcefulness and determination that led him to win at Roland Garros in eight of his nine appearances (a defeat in 66 games).
In his favor had faded, disastrous service and without strength or desire to try to battle Murray.
The last meeting between the two players, quarters End of Rome not presage the outcome of this Friday. In May mourning in the Italian capital had Murray on the ropes the king of the land, which won in the third set with many troubles.
Unlike other appointments to key players you need a game or even a set (to compatriot David Ferrer in the quarter) to warm up, before Murray Nadal came out determined not to give rise to doubts that have marked his season on clay.Three losses ( Monte Carlo, Barcelona and Rome) in what used to be a cakewalk as a prelude to his triumph at Roland Garros champion created uncertainties. Despite its strong step in Paris (has only dropped a set) the back discomfort cemented the questions.
But Nadal was warned that he was “a little better” and training “level playing the ball “better than round.Both announcements were corroborated on the track. The Spaniard cleared faster than in previous clashes and was from the more aggressive first, very successful with the parallel and hit winners.
Murray, dislodged by the commitment of the Spanish, it was only able to achieve three points in the first three games, which ended in a 3-0 Nadal as a platform to win the set.In the second set the tone was the same or even worsened. A Nadal, who won two ‘break’ for any of Murray, it was enough to keep pace while the Scottish collapsed with unforced errors unfit its hierarchy. The Spaniard put up two runs in just 31 minutes.
The third set began with two more service breaks to Nadal, inspired as in his best days with the right-wing coup, a whip against Murray I could hardly react, and so the party walked until denouement.Now Nadal will face Djokovic, who beat him in his last game at the end of Rome. Serbia must beat back the land lord to achieve the only Grand Slam missing.
