Special locations require special rules. It is no different in tennis. Because the Corona crisis is ruining the schedule, the best result counts if two appearances in the same event. This means that Novak Djokovic had a special excuse after his embarrassing bankruptcy in Vienna: he won just three matches in the quarterfinals against Lorenzo Sonega. “I came here to set my place at the top of the world ranking at the end of the year. I did that too. I have achieved what I came here for, ”said the Serb.
These statements do not fit at all with the tournament director, Herwig Straka. “I find those statements dispensable, even if you believe it, you don’t say that at any press conference,” he told the APA agency. However, in view of Corona’s special time, you have to live with that, Straka adds.
“Not in humor”
Djokovic was hostile to many fans as well. “To be honest, I wasn’t in the mood to play too much,” said the 17-time major winner.
However, Djokovic provided another reason for his sporting reluctance: Amfilohije Radovic died the day before his game.
Nole felt a bond with the high cleric of the Serbian Orthodox Church, who died of Corona at the age of 83. “The sad news influenced me,” Djokovic said. He once had the privilege of meeting Radovic and spending time with him.
