“I won against an opponent who played incredibly, who had a lot of courage and confidence that he could win. There was a lot of expectation for me to know if I would win and finish the year as number one in the rankings. Rune and I We have a very similar game, sometimes I feel like I’m playing with a mirror. He’s young, I thank him for letting me win tonight.” This is how Novak Djokovic commented in the post-match interview on the victory against Holger Rune in his debut at the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin.
“I really appreciate the support I have in Italy – he added – and I always feel at home in this beautiful country. I was very emotional. I apologize to the children for smashing their rackets, I’m not proud of this but it happens, sometimes too many emotions and too much pressure on the pitch. I’m a man like the others.”
Finally Djokovic observed: “I don’t want to think too much about my sporting history and the results I have had: the only formula for success for me is to look ahead and think about the next challenge. I am aware that I have had a lot of success and that I am in a wonderful moment in my career, but if I want to remain at the level of these young people I have to work even harder than them.”
