The semifinal of the Australian Open won by Jannik Sinner against Novak Djokovic is still etched in the minds of Italian fans. The tournament champion played a practically perfect match against the world number one, who, however, seemed excessively off-tone.
The words of Goran Ivanisevic
In recent days, there have been overlapping hypotheses about a presumed physical problem of Djokovic that would have therefore affected his match against Sinner. The Serbian's coach, Goran Ivanisevic, dismissed all doubts in the Croatian newspaper Sportske Novost: «Sooner or later Novak had to lose, we were all aware of that. It's a pity it went like this, but against Sinner if you're not at 100% you don't have many chances. And even at the top of your form you can lose. The entire Australian Open was not easy for Novak, from the first round onward. But in the semifinal Djokovic arrived healthy, his wrist wasn't bothering him. Simply something went wrong. If he had to lose against someone I'm glad it was Sinner. We move on, it's nothing so tragic». The coach then confirmed Djokovic's presence at Indian Wells in March.
