Novak Djokovic, number one in the world, was eliminated from the Australian Open this Friday, after losing in the semi-finals to Italian Jannik Sinner in four sets. At the end of the meeting, the Serbian tennis player was frustrated with the performance and also spoke about the rumors regarding his future.
“I’m shocked by my level. It was one of the worst Grand Slam tournaments I’ve ever played. I didn’t get anywhere near my level during the competition. I never felt comfortable, but I didn’t expect it to be so bad in the first two sets,” confessed Djokovic This was the defeat that broke a 6-year cycle of victories in the competition in 33 matches. You have to go back to 2018 to find an identical situation, when the tennis player was eliminated by Hyeon Chung in the round of 16 of this same tournament. In 2022, the Serbian was forced to leave Melbourne for not having been vaccinated against Covid-19.
