World number one Novak Djokovic, after defeating Dutch representative Tallon Griekspoor at the Masters tournament in Paris, said that he had been feeling unwell in recent days.
Djokovic beat Griekspoor in the third round of the tournament with a score of 4:6, 7:6 (7:2), 6:4.
“Well, it’s hard to keep a clear mind when you’ve spent more time on the toilet seat than on the court these last three days.” My energy levels have just been really low the last few days. Today is probably the worst day, so I just hope that tomorrow will be better, that the curve will start to go up.
This is one of those matches where you just have to accept the circumstances and endure. I started serving at the right moments, this allowed me to avoid trouble, but there was probably one rally before losing the match. But again, this makes this victory even more important for me in terms of psychology,” Express quotes the 36-year-old Serb as saying.
Djokovic will face Denmark’s Holger Rune in the quarterfinals of the tournament.
