Novak Djokovic's feelings are getting better and better
The Serbian tennis player has never lost in a semifinal here and whenever he has played in the semifinals at the Australian Open, he has always ended up winning this tournament. "I've been in a situation like this many times, I've never lost a semifinal at the Australian Open and I hope it stays that way," he said about this situation. As for his feelings, he explained: "He probably played the best tennis of his life here. Very explosive and dynamic. Fast and a very solid backhand. He likes to get inside the court and dictate the point with his forehand. He has great movement with his serve, with which he can serve anywhere. He's very complete." "I can't say this year I'm feeling better than ever here because I've had great years here in Australia. But in the last two matches, playing against two guys who are great players, beating them with that dominance is definitely what I want right now," added the Belgrade-born tennis player. As for how they think he is being treated by the media, he said, "I like to see when someone offers a different perspective, understanding if it's written about me or another athlete. Understanding where he is coming from and trying to be objective. What I personally like to see is respect and not a narrative that goes in a direction that focuses on only one side of the story and continues for a while following that direction."
How does Tommy Paul arrive?
The American tennis player closed the year 2022 disputing the final of the ATP Parí's where he reached the quarterfinals where he fell to Stefanos Tsitsipas.
