Djokovic: My failure was the result of pressure and lack of freshness

According to Eviralnews, 37-year-old Serbian Novak Djokovic withdrew from the American Grand Slam this morning (Saturday) after losing to Australian tennis player Alexei Popirin.

The gold medalist of the Paris Olympics said about the reasons for her exclusion from the American Open: I was not in good physical and mental condition in these competitions, and my only change after the Olympics was my different clothing! I put a lot of energy into winning the gold medal at the Paris Olympics. After the Olympics I arrived in New York and I was not feeling well mentally and physically.

The number 2 tennis player in the world added: I decided to try it due to the importance of the US Open and I had no physical problems. I just felt the pressure. It was evident in the way I played from the start. From the very first game, I did not find myself in this field at all. That's all I can say.

In conclusion, Novak Djokovic stated: I congratulate Popirin and his team. He played better and deserved to win. To be honest, according to the feeling I had from the very beginning of the tournament, advancing to the third round was successful. I played the worst tennis and at this level you can't win without serving.
