The world number 1 always responds with great precision to questions from the media. Guest on the set of Tennis Channel, he was kind enough to come back to this chaotic start to the season and in particular to the “Djokogate” which with hindsight seems completely crazy and totally incoherent.
« When I found myself outside of Australia, I thought to myself, well, that’s how it is. What happened happened. I advance. But then, unfortunately, I quickly felt the emotional and mental traces of what had happened there were going to settle permanently in my daily life. Finally, it’s only the last few weeks that I started to get out of it a little. Turn that into fuel, into positive energy, it’s not that simple, especially since it was the kind of situation I had never faced in my life before. I consider myself experienced with different kinds of things that are part of my life that I can relate to. However, there was something completely unexpected. So it weighed on me, more mentally, emotionally than physically. I felt that I myself was not a little more nervous than usual, more in defensive mode when I started to play officially. It took me a while to recover. »
