"Every time match becomes difficult for him, he asks for doctor" - Carreno-Busta following Roland Garros loss to Djokovic
ATP
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."

- I predicted whenthe list was finalised that Linda Noskova would win the WTA Finals and her matches against Gauff and Kostyuk prove that. She is the best (underrated) player in the world!Rapunzel11-11-2026
- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

mandoist09-11-2026 - Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.
mandoist08-11-2026 - Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.

mandoist06-11-2026 - Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
