Djokovic remains mysterious: "I have no explanation".
Just as he did against Lorenzo Musetti in the 3rd round, Novak Djokovic once again came out on top when he was thought to be in perdition. To add to the drama, the Serb also appeared to have injured his right knee against Francisco Cerundolo in Monday's Round of 16 match.
With three physio sessions apparently making no difference, the world No. 1 was no longer able to move properly and, resigned to the situation, gave the impression of no longer being able to push off his right leg. Defeat seemed almost inevitable when he found himself trailing 2 sets to 1 and a break behind in the 4th set (6-1, 5-7, 3-6, 2-4). But Djokovic, who doesn't do anything like everyone else, suddenly regained all his physical strength and all his will to win, and finally came out on top.
After his victory, we were hoping to find out a little more about the state of his knee. But the Serb didn't broach the subject with Mats Wilander. He simply thanked the spectators for their support, explaining that this was what had enabled him to find the resources to win the match.
Novak Djokovic (to the audience, in French): "Once again, I'm speaking French. Because I have to say another big thank you, because as in the last match (against Lorenzo Musetti), victory is your victory. It really is.
In the last match, I was 2 sets to 1 for Musetti, and in the 4th set, at 2 games all, the energy on the court changed completely. You've given me a lot of support, and tonight too. So thank you very much.
What can I say? I was maybe 3 or 4 points away from losing this match today. And a big congratulations to Francisco (Cerundolo) for playing at such a high level. He deserves the applause, that's for sure.
After that, how did I find the means to win today? I don't really know. The only explanation I have is you (the spectators). Thank you for your support. Thank you very much!"
