Multiple USSR tennis champion Anna Dmitrieva told that the departure of the world’s first racket Novak Djokovic of the Australian Open is associated with the excellent game of the Italian Jannik Sinner and the insufficient preparation of the Serbian for the tournament.
Sinner beat Djokovic 6-1, 6-2, 6-7 (6-8), 6-3 on Friday. For the first time in his career, the Italian reached the final of a Grand Slam tournament, where his opponent will be the Russian Daniil Medvedev. Djokovic lost at the Australian Open for the first time since 2018, his winning streak at the tournament was 33 matches.
— Does Djokovic’s elimination in the semi-final mean that he is gradually losing his form?
— It is impossible to draw fundamental conclusions about Djokovic’s career due to his relegation. His defeat is the work of Sinner, who plays very clearly, with grace, at a fast pace. The Italian created problems for him and the Serbian did not play his best game. First of all, his opponent contributed to it.
— Djokovic said that throughout the tournament in Australia he did not show the highest level of play.
– This always happens when you are not in the best shape. Apparently, Novak did not prepare enough, Dmitrieva told .
