Popyrin: "I don't think I played at my best".

While Novak Djokovic confessed to having played one of the worst Grand Slam tournaments of his career, his heartthrob, Alexei Popyrin, confessed to not having played his very best tennis during their duel.

Although he was obviously delighted with the result, he was nevertheless keen to keep his feet on the ground, insisting above all on the tactical aspect: "Unlike our last two matches, this time I knew how to take my chances.

I don't think I played at my best. There have already been matches where I've had the impression of playing better.

It was tactically very good, one of my best matches. The level of play was high, but not excellent."
