Novak Djokovic Admits Health Concerns after Defeat
“Finishing the year as No. 1 (in the ATP singles Rankings), that was the goal coming into the indoor season. I managed to achieve that,” Djokovic said. “Overall it was a phenomenal season that I have to be definitely very proud of”, said Novak Djokovic. “Obviously no one likes to lose a tennis match. You try your best. But at the same time, as I said on the court, you put things in a larger perspective, see things a bit differently,” Djokovic added. “When you get out of this feeling of a little bit disappointment that you lost, [you can enjoy] all the positive things that I have to reflect on and also take from this season, especially the last six months.”
Djokovic has decided to take as many positives as possible out of his second half resurgence this season. “When I went on the table for surgery, I knew it was going to be a different season because it never happened. Whatever the outcome in the end of the year, I knew that I’m going to learn a lot from this season,” said the US Open Champion. “Fortunately for me, it ended up in the best possible way. Yeah, I’m just grateful”
