I just love that statement. I had to say it!” His lighthearted comment drew laughter from the crowd and showcased his sense of humor.
The match itself was a testament to Djokovic’s resilience and experience. Faria put up a strong fight, pushing Djokovic to four sets with a score of 6-1, 6-7 (4), 6-3, 6-2.
