Novak DjokovicThe protagonist of day-2 of the Lever Cup, after the clear success of Francis Tiafoe in the singles, also Matteo Berrettin, who repeated the old success 2021 than at the opening of the day, took the desire to win the doubles side. On the Aliasime of Felix Auger.
During the press conference, Nole made some interesting statements about the future of his career. He explained: “I didn’t think I was off the field. I didn’t make too many mistakes in singles or doubles, so I’m really happy with how things went.”
It can be unpredictable after a few months, but I realized that these days training will be good. “Using Berettini as a benchmark, the Serbian tried to analyze the issue of retirement after Federer’s farewell match: “I feel older than Matteo. I am, but I still don’t feel old enough to stop.
I think my body still responds well, obviously when you’re 25 or 26, things are different for the body, but I don’t play that much. My goal is to win big events, Grand Slams and some tournaments on the ATPTour, that’s what motivates me the most.
I think the Laver Cup is an incredible event. As the years go by, the more direct experience with other players improves. I’ve only played once but this year has been a lot of fun in terms of Roger’s satisfaction and retirement.
We respect each other, we always have, but obviously there’s a different atmosphere than in the tour. Double fun with Berrettini, yes, but stronger than anything else. Do it again with Djokovic, who didn’t deny his interest in a sideline interview: “We didn’t have time to prepare for the match because we played ten minutes after finishing my singles with Tiafoe.”
We already talked about something, in the locker room. We talked a bit about the tactical plan while I was trying to eat something. Anyway, we finished late and we were all so tired that we couldn’t even talk.
But looking at how we played, it wasn’t the first time. I hope we will have a chance to play together again.” Djokovic’s absence in the United States and future plans are inevitable: “All players want to plan according to the schedule, especially when there is training and everything to prepare .
However, I have a training facility in Belgrade, so I spent most of my time there. I mean it’s not about playing tournaments every week in my career, I don’t want to because I’m more focused on everything. Another thing that inspires me is visiting new places, which is why I chose Nur-Sultan and Tel Aviv.”
