Italian Jannik Sinner played great tennis and absolutely deserved the victory, pointed out Novak Djokovic, who was defeated after 19 consecutive victories.
This is Sinner’s first victory over the best tennis player in the world.
“In matches like this, you don’t get a lot of opportunities, and if you don’t take advantage of them, your opponent will. I need to be more decisive at times, but okay, I’ve won most of these matches in my career. “I don’t think I did too many things wrong, but I have to take my hat off to him, he played bravely when it was most needed,” Djokovic pointed out.
Namely, now Novak will play against Hubert Hurkac, who comes in as a replacement for the injured Stefanos Tsicipas, to advance to the semi-finals.
“Hurkač is one of the best servers in the world, and he is relaxed now because he has nothing to lose. It will be very difficult for sure,” said Novak.
