Novak Djokovic lost out to Dominic Thiem in a thrilling tie which saw the latter claim an excellent victory and the Serbian has reacted to this.
Djokovic said that he was unbelievable and that it was incredible that he used the same shot throughout the whole tie and that it was going in at the same time.
He added that he knows that he can play at a higher level but that it was phenomenal to see him play like that but also to fight back like he did from the brink.
“I don't think I have experienced too many matches like this where my opponent just goes for every single shot,” said Djokovic.
“He was unbelievable, and in some stages it was just incredible that he was just literally smacking the ball as hard as he could and [it] was going in.”
“He was taking every opportunity to smack the ball as hard as he could. Flatten it out, backhand down the line. He didn't miss too many backhands down the line, really. It was amazing. I have played him before. I know his game. But what he did tonight was just out of ordinary,” Djokovic added.
“I know that he can play in a high level, but tonight was just phenomenal. I had to fight, and I did. I'm proud of coming back from 5-6 down [in the third set]. He was serving for the match.
