Novak Djokovic has time and again proved his ability to win from seemingly unsalvageable situations. Regardless of their allegiances in tennis, people acknowledge the caliber of tennis he harbors.

The 20-time Grand Slam champion’s latest match created the same effect when he claimed victory against Jannik Sinner after losing the first two sets. Here’s what Djokovic had to say about such performances.

Novak Djokovic about playing in risky situations

When asked about what goes through his mind while playing with the odds against him, Djokovic said, “As negative and down you feel in yourself in those moments. I think even though as fake as it looks or sounds to you. It really gives you an effect and support if you are trying to find the right answer, positive affirmations and kind of reanimate yourself in a way.”

“So that’s what I have done. I have done after I lost two sets in Roland Garros against Tsitsipas and today it worked. It doesn’t always work. Yeah, just felt like I had to change something.” He added.

Djokovic against Cameron Norrie

The six time Wimbledon champion will meet the British tennis ace Cameron Norrie in the semifinals of the grass-based Grand Slam. Norrie outclassed former World No.7 David Goffin in a five set long match to reach the semifinals of Wimbledon for the first time in his career.

The match is scheduled for Friday, 8th July. In the Centre Court based tussle, Djokovic will test his skills against the Brit for the second time. They first met at the 2021 Nitto ATP finals clash on the indoor hard courts of Italy. There, the former World no.1 got the better of Norrie in straight sets of 6-2 6-1.
