"I didn't feel like I really had proper time to rest" admits Novak Djokovic after superb 2023 season"
ATP
World number one Novak Djokovic
has admitted that he did not get the desired amount of rest after having an
amazing 2023 season.
The 36-year-old is often regarded
as the greatest player in the history of men’s tennis in the Open era,
having won as many as 24 Grand Slam titles.
Djokovic had a fabulous time in
2023 on the court where he ended up winning three out of the four Grand Slams.
His only defeat in a major tournament last year came in the final at Wimbledon
where he lost to the current world number two Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz with a
score of 1–6, 7–6(8–6), 6–1, 3–6, 6–4.
The Serbian tennis star was
recently quoted in a report where he stated that he did not get the desired
amont of rest after a historic campaign
"I made some amazing
records, also history of the sport, that took a lot out of me,” he said. “So I
didn't feel like I really had the proper time to rest and to do a proper
preparation block like maybe I would normally do. But it is what it is.
"I don't think I played my
best tennis in Australia, whereas Jannik [Sinner] did, and he was just far
better player than me that day [in the semi-finals]. And after that, he he made
an incredible comeback in the final and won his first title. So it was
absolutely deserved."
