Really angry from Djokovic ending in a bad and surprising way

Novak Djokovic He had previously left Monte Carlo in the 2022 edition, having been overtaken by the Spaniards Alexander Davidovich. Back at the tournament held near his official residence, he wants to open his clay-court season in the best possible way after missing out on the 1000 ATP Masters in Indian Wells and Miami because he is still banned from entering the United States because he is not vaccinated.

The Adelaide ATP and Australian Open champion, semifinalist in Dubai, regained the world number one at the cost of Carlos Alcaraz. They have won 16 of their 17 games played this season.

The seventeenth victory was very complicated because the Italian Lorenzo Musetti21 years old and No. 21 in the rankings, appeared to respond to a complicated day of the round of 16 at the Masters 1000 ATP in Monte Carlo.

With the score 6-4, 5-7, 1-1, the rain added a few drops of drama to a heated encounter that consumed two and a quarter hours of play.

Before the break Djokovic, who led 4-2 in the second set, spoke to the French chair umpire by bouncing the ball. Aurelie Tourte. The Serb disagreed with the referee’s decision but ended up resignedly accepting that the point belonged to the Italian. There is no brand agreement that he has to decide on his own.

‘No’, who rolled on the ground looking for opponent shots, exploded after losing serve again for 5-6 Musetti.

He broke a racket, but not in the usual way. What he was holding in his hand, what he was playing with, remained intact. When he got to the chair he took advantage of having another one prepared to break it with his foot.

This earned him a warning from the seat manager for ‘abusing the ball’. Difficult day for number 1 in front of his wife, Jelenaand his children, Stephenwho seeks to follow in the father’s footsteps, and Come on.
