MADRID, 23 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic highlighted this Thursday the two “fantastic matches” he played in the recent ATP Finals against the Italian Jannik Sinner, who in his opinion “right now is one of the best players in the world”, on the eve of facing with him again for the Davis Cup semi-finals in Malaga.
“We played a couple of fantastic matches in Turin and right now he is one of the best players in the world,” Djokovic said after beating Britain’s Cameron Norrie in the quarterfinals, alluding to his clashes against Sinner in those ATP Finals held in Turin.
“Italy is a very strong nation. We are going to see what happens, we are going to fight and leave everything on the field,” he added about his ‘semi’ against the team led by Sinner, who in their quarterfinal tie came back to the Netherlands thanks to the key contribution of the San Candido tennis player.
Regarding Serbia’s encounter with Great Britain, Djokovic stressed having played “a great match.” “Obviously playing for my country is always the greatest pleasure and the greatest motivation. There are many emotions and responsibilities on the field after a long season. You can feel it in your legs, but I think I started the game well,” he said on the court. .
“I served very well when I needed to and I think Norrie has increased his level. At the end of the match, from the middle of the second set, he served very well and it was very difficult to play on his left. Normally, I haven’t played much on the left lately. In general, it’s great to finish work after the ‘singles’,” concluded the one from Belgrade.
