Affected by the new epidemic of coronary pneumonia, professional tennis must be suspended until at least mid-July before it can restart. Recently, the famous star Djokovic said in an interview with the media that initially it was difficult to adapt to the life of the suspension, and that he also felt “empty and confused” about the uncertainty of the future.
“For tennis players, a clear schedule is very important! Although the official said the game will resume on July 13, many people are skeptical about it,” said Djokovic: “I must maintain a good daily schedule.” You can’t keep up with life waiting for the day to come. Going to the gym to train, run at home and accompany the kids, these things are also very tiring. “
“At first I felt a bit empty and confused because I wasn’t sure when I would be able to return to the game. I had contacted the team and tried to train hard every day, but I couldn’t strictly implement the plan.”
Before the end of the tennis match, Djokovic was in very good shape. He helped Serbia win the ATP Cup, held his eighth Australian Open men’s individual trophy in Melbourne, and then was crowned in Dubai five times, extending his winning streak to 21 games.
The spread of the new crown virus forced Wimbledon to be canceled for the first time since World War II. The French Open decided to take place from September 20 to October 4, shortly after the end of the United States Open. In this regard, Djokovic said: “Although the restart date of the tour has been determined, the WTA Rogers Cup has been canceled. We need to see how the outbreak unfolds in the United States. Although they are expected to participate in August, they will also have You can cancel all games in the United States … It’s still full of uncertainty, I just hope we can restart the game. “
The Serbian kings, who have performed well in the past two seasons, have raised their number of Grand Slam titles to 17, just three fewer than Federer’s 20 men’s singles Grand Slam records. However, it is unexpected that he had the idea to retire under the pressure of external expectations as early as 2010.
“In the Roland Garros quarterfinals against Melzer, it had a big impact on my emotions. After that loss, I cried many times. I felt like everything was intertwined on and off the court.” When I got together, I really couldn’t find a reason to keep playing and wanted to quit tennis! “
However, that game also caused Djokovic to change his mindset: “It was the third in the world at the time, but I also lost a lot of games against Federer and Nadal. The build up of pressure will make you lost your enthusiasm to play and I couldn’t feel the pleasure and joy on the court, but I wanted to put everything aside and play in a truly free way. After that I felt that the whole person was released! “
