“I am very satisfied with my great intensity from the start of the match,”<\/strong> the no.2 seed said. “I try to be as aggressive as possible when I have a shorter ball.”<\/strong><\/p>\nMatch statistics<\/span>: aces (2-3), double faults (0-2), winners (21-15), unforced errors (17-24), total points won (66-47).<\/p>\nNovak will play no.5 seed Roger Federer in the last four meeting on Saturday at 14.30 CET.<\/strong><\/p>\nThe 26-year-old Serb has won 13 of 29 encounters against the Swiss, the most recent in the title match at the 2012 Barclays ATP World Tour Finals in London (7-6, 7-5).<\/p>\n
Ahead of the Federer clash, Nole said: “You cannot underestimate Roger. He’s playing really well. I hope that I can continue playing well the way I played today.
