Last week in Madrid it wasn’t so great for Nole that had to bow in three sets against a great Dimitrov in his opening match.
In recent interview Djokovic said “It was a strange week for me in Madrid. I look at it as a valuable experience. Every defeat is equally as important as a victory, so I try to analyse the things I went through. “
“I came here Wednesday, so I’ve been here almost a week working hard on my game and fitness in order to prepare well for Rome. I hadn’t had a lot of practice before Madrid, so I’m trying to make up for lost time here. I think I’m ready and will be able to perform with my best tennis.”
About the new generation
“Dimitrov showed his mental strength against me. He managed to play three hours at a high level. It’s good for tennis to see the generation coming up,”
“There are some young players like Dimitrov, Milos Raonic and Bernard Tomic who are really talented. They have great potential to become top players. They have shown that previously on several occasions when they won against the top players. “he added.
Next vs Montanes
Nole will play his opener against Montanes that has defeated Klizan 3-6 7-5 6-3. Head to head is 4-0 for Djokovic.
