Novak Djokovic: “The Sinner definitely deserved to win”

Leader in world rankings Novak Djokovic He commented on the defeat in the match against Italian tennis player Jannik Sinner. At the ATP Final Tournament, the fourth-seeded team defeated the Serbian team in three sets.

“The last time we met was at Wimbledon, in the semi-finals, and I won in three sets, but it was a tough fight. A couple of points were decisive. I think he played then as he does today, but this time he might have served better and been braver in the big moments.”

Yannick deserved to win because I gave him the opportunity to take control of the rallies in the important moments. I was in a situation where I could have taken the initiative and taken control of the match but I didn’t but he did. He definitely deserved to win.

There are very few opportunities in such matches. If you don’t use them, your opponent will. I need to be more determined at some points. But that’s okay, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Most of the time I won these games. I don’t think I made too many mistakes. He was only brave when he needed to be,” Djokovic said.

Even if Novak beats Hubert Hurkacz in the third round of the group round, he may not make it to the semi-finals.
