This information will serve to explain the careful battle he played which cost him a painful defeat which he did not cause.

And until now no one knows about his health problems because the number 1 in the world did everything in his power to keep it a secret.

I don’t want to be a doctor so that journalists don’t find out and mess up.. That’s why he played so badly in the first two sets, he was obviously weak” added Nikolić on the Reketiranje podcast.

The Serbian will now have time to recover and recharge his batteries to face his next goals, because He decided to take a long break that would lead him to not compete for more than a month.

At the age of 36, the champion of 24 Grand Slam titles is finding it increasingly difficult to distance himself from his family to travel the world playing tournaments, so he is more selective in choosing his schedule.
