The things of Novak Djokovic when a Grand Slam tournament heats up. Maximum pressure, many expectations, the Serbians were surprised by one of those huge upsets that leave everyone confused. And he didn’t bother to hide it, on the contrary he expanded it. A sign that he wanted to make it clear that he was leaving center court in a bad mood.
In the past few days he had a problem with some viewers. He talked to the manager of the seat, the experience Mohamed Lahyani, but nothing out of tone.
The Serbian, 37 years old and world No. 7, has achieved his goal, to reach the quarterfinals of the Australian Open for the fifteenth time, crossing paths with the Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz.
Djokovic beat Czech Jiri Lehecka 6-3, 6-4 and 7-6 (4) in 2h.39′. The ten-time champion had to work hard in the third set, but that didn’t excuse his strange final behavior.
During the on-court interview, Djokovic took the microphone from the former Grand Slam champion Jim Courier, He addressed the audience, thanking them for their presence. And no more, he left the American standing. Unpublished horror without an interview. He left everyone standing on the run.
He then signed some autographs for some fans, listening to some shy whistles. Later, on Eurosport International, he spoke but avoided doing so about this episode and the meeting with Carlos Alcaraz.
Let’s see what happens when I have to attend the general press conference with the media.
