Novak Djokovic doesn’t want to use his injury as an excuse

The current world number eight was observed to be in some discomfort in the third and final set. He asked the chair umpire for a quick check by his physio after he broke to lead 3-1. It seemed to be a thigh problem. Following the quick check by the physio, his camp kept a wary eye on him as the 35-year-old had an intense battle with the rising Danish teenage star.

The ‘Serbinator’ suffered his first defeat in Bercy since losing the 2018 final to Karen Khachanov at the Rolex Paris Masters. After his recent loss against Rune, Djokovic said, “I mean, oh, I don’t want to talk about that, because I know that you guys might take that as, you know, excuse or something like this why I lost.”
