A few days after achieving the 18th Grand Slam of his career in Australia, Djokovic is currently at rest and without playing after the physical discomfort he suffered in the abdominal area. They were not an impediment to reign in the first big of the year, with an outstanding performance on and off the track. His coach, Goran Ivanisevic, reviews some of his performances in Tennismajors.com. “I think it's the sweetest title of the 18”, account of the victory in Australia. Ivanisevic believes that Novak is not treated well in the media.
“It all started with the Adria Tour. They haunted him even before that, but in the last year it seemed to me like i was watching that movie The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Why do they treat it that way? Probably due to his background, the people of the Balkans are always seen differently. Also, Novak is not afraid to speak his mind and fight for the causes he believes in.. What happened at the US Open, it was like everyone was happy because that kind of shit happened to him“Ivanisevic said.
He also commented when Djokovic, on the ropes in his match against Fritz with signs of pain that suggested a abandonment, continued and rallied to eventually win the title. “The saddest thing was the accusations that he was faking an injury. Why the hell would I do that? Why would the best player in the world compensate for an injury, and at that moment he had two sets to come back? When some other elite player is injured, it is considered a heroic act for them to even step on the court. But when he's Novak, he's faking it. “
Djokovic will continue in number and, for now, there is no date for a return to competition, although Ivanisevic has no doubt who is the best. “Novak is stronger than everyone else and people have a hard time admitting it. His mind is so strong that he believes in his mental exercises and those relaxation methods of his. was able to minimize pain as much as was physically possible, with the help of painkillers as well. “.
