However, the celebration was not worried – Serbian tennis players hurt the wrist and played under tablets against persistent rival.
This victory brought another record to Novak – became the oldest player who reached the quarterfinals of Masters, at 38 and four months. But the match was all just not light. Djokovic repeatedly asked medical attention, and his movement in the field revealed serious pain.
Due to the medical condition, Djokovic did not appear before the match. “Novak Djokovic does not feel well and will not be present at the press conference. His doctors recommended rest and recover before the next match. He wants to be ready for Thursday,” Chinese media stated.
Later, Novak himself, told me briefly:
“A difficult day at work. Physically very challenging. Fortunately, I have the best support in the world.”
His next opponent will be Belgian Zizou Bergs, and the term match is not yet confirmed, because the estimate of Novak’s health is awaited.
In Shanghai, the government has an extremely steamy time, which further complicates recovery and game to tennis players. Many had problems with the heat, and some even vomit during the match.
After the US Open, Djokovic prepared in Greece, where he spent several weeks with his family, and now he expects him the end of the season, which, by all judging, began with serious physical challenges.
