Anderson defeats Lajovic to reach semis

Anderson broke serve for 4-2, but Lajovic responded immediately. A strong start to the tie-break helped Anderson to clinch the set, which ended with Lajovic hitting a forehand wide. But Juan Martin del Potro’s conqueror didn’t stop fighting and broke in the sixth game of the second set. 

Anderson committed his 10th unforced error of the set in hitting a backhand into the net, but soon regrouped in the decider. Anderson won four of the first five games, saving one break point at 3-1, to seize control and overpower Lajovic in a tough three-setter.
