“It’s not about coronavirus, I don’t want to give more details, but it’s something that affects my metabolism”indicated Djokovic, 34, and who long ago announced that he is celiac.
“It’s worrying to have that feeling on the court. I didn’t feel tired until the end of the second set. But the 5-4 game was long and then I started to not feel well. It also happened to me in Monte Carlo.”he explained after losing the Belgrade final, a tournament that takes place in his country and of which he is the organizer.
Djokovic He is going through a 2022 to forget: it all started with the absence at the Australian Open, his favorite Grand Slam, for not being vaccinated against the coronavirus.
After the judicial novel that he starred in against the authorities of the Australian country, the Serbian was absent on the circuit until the Dubai ATP, where he lost to the Czech Jiry Vesely in the quarterfinals and the Russian Daniil Medvedev snatched the lead in the ranking.
Although he was able to quickly regain his place as world number 1, Djokovic showed a poor image at the ATP Monte Carlo, where he lost in his debut against the Spaniard Alejandro Davidovich Fokina.
After losing 6-1 in the third set, “Nole” said he felt extremely tired at the end of the match.
Last week he played the ATP in Belgrade, where he plays completely at home and is also the organizer of the tournament. In what was a path full of obstacles that were more complicated than expected, the Serbian managed to get into the final.
In the decisive match he lost 6-2, 6(4)-7 and 6-0 against the Russian Andrey Rublev and after the fall he set off the alarms: there he revealed that he has suffered from an illness since before his participation in Monte Carlo.
“I guess the recovery time is taking a bit longer than I expected”continued Djokovic, who will have this week of rest prior to his participation in the Masters 1000 in Madrid and Rome, in the run-up to what is the Serb’s great goal on the European clay court tour: Roland Garros.
It will be a matter of time to see how Djokovic’s recovery progresses, who wants to lift the “Musketeers’ Cup” for the third time and reach the 21 Grand Slams won by Rafael Nadal.
