"I am either going to be in the semis or I am going to be on vacation": Andy Roddick thought Novak Djokovic saw ATP Finals scenario as win-win

Former world number one America’s Andy Roddick believes that
Serbia’s legendary tennis star Novak Djokovic saw the ATP Finals scenario as a
win-win.
The 36-year-old is currently taking part in the competition
in Turin where he has already booked his place in the semifinal of the
competition after winning two out of three group matches against Denmark’s Holger
Rune and Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz.
Djokovic recently made a comment that is not worried about the
results of the competition, largely because that is not in his hand. Roddick, was
recently quoted in a report where he suggested that the world number one saw
the tournament scenario as a win-win.
"Yeah I don't think Novak [Djokovic] meant that he
didn't care about the result from the match, I think he meant like, 'It's out
of my hands'. Right?,” he said. “Like, 'I did what I had to do. I came out, I
had to win a match to give myself a chance, so you know, I am either going to
be in the semis or I am going to be on vacation'. Both are pretty good
scenarios for the go.
"He just wants to get in some match play, go through
this month of being intense before shutting it down or getting into a training
block, before Australia. Yeah listen you can be a little calmer about the
outcome when you have won this tournament as many times as you [Djokovic] have.
And also listen, the larger goal might have been to wrap up the year at No. 1
for Novak which he did with his first round win over [Holger] Rune.
"So, lots of things going through the paces, none of
which are going to shock or surprise or jolt the system of Novak anymore than
anything he's felt before. So, he is going to be pumped to be in the semis but
my read of that post-match interview was just that, 'Listen I did my job, let
the chips fall where they might'.”
