Pablo Carreno-Busta played Novak Djokovic in the second Grand Slam tournament in a row, but this time, the Spaniard was not successful.

After a controversial exit of Novak Djokovic from the 2020 US Open, he faced Pablo Carreno-Busta again. This time, the Spaniard was winning in the first set again, and this time the set was also finished and he has won it. However, then Djokovic took a break due to his injury and doctor came to the court. Carreno-Busta then lost the following three sets, and after the match, he said:

"Every time the match becomes a bit difficult for him, he asks for the doctor," said Carreno Busta in his press conference. "I don't know whether he has a chronic problem with his shoulder or it is simply a mental issue that he does that every time he is in trouble."

"But it is not something that made me lose my focus because I already knew. I knew it was going to happen at the Us Open and I knew it was going to happen here. And I also know that it will keep happening."

Obviously, Djokovic was asked about the same thing after the match. The Serbian answered:

"I definitely didn't feel great coming into the court today. Few things happened in the warm-up," Djokovic insisted. "I had to deal with those physical issues coming onto the court. As the match went on, I felt better, didn't feel as much pain. Especially for a set and a half he was the better player, dictating the play. I was very neutral."
