A defeat that weighs heavily on the Serb, certain that he did not express his best tennis against the Azure: "I was shocked by my level, I did not do much in the first two sets.

Djokovic è however, confident for the continuation of the season, despite the heavy defeat he suffered in Melbourne against Sinner: "The season? I still have high hopes, for the other Slams, the Olympics and whatever tournament he will play. It's just the beginning of the season…. This tournament was not, as I said, up to my standards, my criteria or the level at which I would normally play or expect to play, but it doesn't necessarily mean it's the beginning of the end, as some people like to think. Let's see what happens in the rest of the season".
