«I know perfectly well that there is a certain controversy surrounding the contradiction generated by Novak Djokovic’s excellent games and his gestures on the court, as well as the repeated statements about the ailment he suffers in his thigh,» began Toni Nadal. In this way.
express his opinion on the case of the Serb at the Australian Open, through some statements made to El País. The Spanish coach was momentarily annoyed by some words pronounced at a press conference by the Belgrade native, who according to him also brought out the figure of Rafael Nadal: «With a phrase at the end of the game he complained, quite angrily, that he questioned himself the authenticity of his injury, while according to him «others are victims when they also suffer this type of situation».
I am not very sensitive by nature, but I understand that ‘others’ refers to Rafa, the only ‘other’ injured tennis player among the contenders for the title», stressed the Spanish coach. Toni wanted to try to explain the reason in Melbourne for the doubts about the physical problem of the 35-year-old nine-time champion: «For years we have been able to verify how injuries, both in the case of my nephew and in that of other players, have had an immediate negative consequence in their matches or, failing that, , which they have suffered at the end of them.
That’s why I think Nole shouldn’t be surprised that his clear third round victory over Grigor Dimitrov and his crushing round of 16 victory against Alex De Minaur, both based on the same quality as always in both his movements on the court and his in the effectiveness of his blows, he surprised and sowed some doubts about the extent of his injury», he said.
Nole wants to see a little more variety.
Novak Djokovic wants to see a little more variety added to the sport. «It’s the time where we have more slippage, tennis from the back of the court, more focused on rallies from the baseline. But I think it’s good,» Djokovic said of the same.
«Someone like Cressy, for example, from America, who has a great serve, basically goes in after the first and second serves. It’s nice to see that. I think it’s nice to have some variety so fans can also enjoy different styles. .
Historically America is always producing the best players. Now you have a list of maybe four or five young players who are knocking on the door of the highest level. I think that’s great for our sport,» said the great Serb.
