While many expected a more intense and demonstrative celebration from Novak Djokovic after the match point against Daniil Medvedev in the final of the US Open this Sunday, the Serbian player explained the reasons for this sobriety during his appearance at the post-match press conference.
“Why didn’t I party, I didn’t fall to the ground and jump for joy like at Roland Garros? Because I was just relieved when I saw her forehand in the net and I wanted to hug my daughter, because she was sitting in the front row. I didn’t know she would be sitting there. We had too many people for too few seats in the players’ box. When I arrived on the field, I saw her. She was in front of me when I was sitting on the bench. She smiled at me every time I needed it, when I was going through very stressful moments, especially in the second set, when I needed a little boost, strength, lightness. She was all in, and she gave me this energy of an innocent child. »
