Novak Djokovic has surprised everybody after a very disappointing North American campaign (so far). The world no.1 has lost in the 3rd round of both Toronto and Cincinnati.
Now Djokovic will try to have a better run at the US Open, but he knows he needs to get back his motivation.
Djokovic: I was a bit slow…
Nole commented “I was a bit slow to get into the competition mode. It was a very unique five or six weeks with the wedding and winning Wimbledon and getting back to No. 1 in the world. I couldn’t have asked for more.”
… I was emotionally flat after the wedding
Then he added “I was extremely fulfilled after I got married. I’m happy with where I am in my life. When I went back to play Toronto and Cincinnati I felt I was emotionally a bit flat. Probably all of these events and experiences got the best of me and I needed some time. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to play my best at the two big tournaments.”
Nole had a good draw at the US Open till the quarters where he will crash against either Tsonga (his conqueror in Toronto) or Murray.
