Novak Djokovic is one step closer to a new history in the world of tennis, so he announced himself before the match that he plays for the finals of the Masters tournament in Rome.
- “High level tennis. The conditions are different, the slag is slower, the ball falls lower. I know Felix very well even though I have never played against him. He has been here for some time at the top of world tennis. We haven’t played so far. He had a dangerous serve, it is one thing to train, and another thing to play an official match against him. He hit the serves great, it was not easy for me to return. On the other hand, he returns well and moves well, so he made me raise the level of the game and play constantly well. ” – Djokovic began and continued:
- “I think I could have finished the job earlier, I had 5: 3 and the match ball, served for the match. However, congratulations to him for returning to the match, there was a great atmosphere tonight. “
Djokovic will play against Casper Ruud in the match for the finals, as well as for his jubilee of 1000 career victories.
- “It will be that jubilee, I hope. Ruud is a great opponent, a slag specialist. He proved himself on this surface, he also played in the Miami finals this year, he is a great guy. We played together several times, we get along well off the field, he and I will want to win on the field. I played against him a couple of years ago in the semifinals during the day, now it will be night, so I hope to play as well as tonight. He has improved a lot, I hope I can repeat the game tonight, if that happens, I have a good chance to win. ” – concluded Novak Djokovic.
