The Serbian tennis player knows the situation very well, this is the tenth time he has won the first Grand Slam of the season, although it is special, as he himself stressed, because he started it with a worrying hamstring injury, with memory of being exiled from the country before the previous edition and the relevance of matching 22 Grand Slams of Rafael Nadal and snatch the world number one from Carlos Alcaraz.

“Media control and anti-doping”

The final with Tsitipas started at half past seven in the afternoon local time, and ended at eleven in the evening. And there were commitments to be met: “The media and anti-doping control,” Djokovic recalled.

“I haven’t had the chance to celebrate it as much as I would like. I hope I can do it in Europe,” said Djokovic, who admitted to being down after too much adrenaline on the way home. “I felt a lot of relief after the game, and satisfaction.”

And he is already thinking about more conquests: “There is a lot of fire inside me, passion for sport and competition.
