Athletistic/Tennis. Novak Djokovic has explained the reasons for his unexpected defeat to Australian Alexei Popyrin in the third round of the US Open (1:3).

According to Djokovic, the change of surface after the Olympics and the accumulated fatigue were key factors: “After winning the Olympic gold, I arrived in New York feeling emotionally and physically exhausted. I didn’t find my game from the beginning of the tournament. I decided to participate in the US Open because it is an important event, but I felt exhausted. It was felt from the first match. However, life goes on and I will try to recover and move forward,” Djokovic is quoted in The Tennis Letter.
