Novak Djokovic sheds light on his condition
Djokovic’s words
Novak Djokovic's press conference at Indian Wells Tennis Garde: "I didn't have any problems either before or after the Doha tournament. It was embarrassing to see that video becauseé when I arrived at the airport I hurt myself by bumping my ankle, it was very early, it must have been 4 or 5 a.m., and that is why I was limping".
"Sì, I am fine and looking forward to playing Indian Wells and Miami, it will be the first time I will play the Sunshine Double in six years. It's been since 2016 or 2017 that I haven't been able to play well here and in Miami, that I struggle to find my best game. I know I won't come back young, but I definitely want to try to go all the way in this tournament-I did what I had to do during the preparation and now we will see how far I will go.".
Murray Chapter: "My intention was to continue from the day my tournament was over. Instead, he needed a little more time to think about it, talk to his folks, his family and figure out how much dedication he could put in and where he could be with me. I am glad that he also decided to go on: Indian Wells, Miami and most of the clay season until Roland Garros. Then we hope to get as far as Wimbledon" as well.
"I like this collaboration. I feel we are both getting to know each other today in a different way than we have known each other on the court for the last 25 years. It is a new role for him, he is still exploring it to figure out how to be able to excel there as well. I try to communicate as much as possible, both on and off the court, so we understand each other better. In Australia I played a great tournament, I was unlucky to end it that way but it è was an injury. As far as the game is concerned, on the other hand, I think I played my best tennis since the Olympics, and I credit that without a doubt to what I did with Andy".
