Novak Djokovic après son premier tour victorieux à Melbourne. Novak Djokovic va-t-il commencer, comme quasiment chaque année, avec un titre à l'Open d'Australie ? Le Serbe, toujours redoutable à Melbourne et déjà sacré à dix reprises ici, a lancé sa saison 2024 avec une douleur au poignet, survenue en United Cup. Libéré de la douleur depuis son arrivée à Melbourne, d'après ses dires, Djokovic a été testé dès son premier match par le jeune Croate de 18 ans, Dino Prizmic. Nole s'est imposé 6-2, 6-7(5), 6-3, 6-4 en 4h00, lâchant donc tout de même une manche. Le roi de l'ATP a même terminé avec plus de fautes directes que de coups gagnants, 49 contre 41.

00:00 I mean, that's what I was referring to.
00:02 Maybe I didn't express myself, but yeah, I did.
00:04 And I am a bit under the weather last, yeah, four or five days.
00:08 You can probably judge by my voice, but look, it is what it is.
00:14 You know, you just have to try to deal with it and get over it and accept the circumstances
00:21 and try to make the most of it.
00:23 I mean, I had an amazing opponent tonight for an 18-year-old.
00:30 He played so maturely and so confidently on the court, fighting through, not giving up
00:37 even when he was four down in the fourth set.
00:40 Just very impressed with his mentality, with his approach, with his game.
00:44 I hear a lot of positive stories about his discipline, his dedication to everyday routines
00:55 that are making him so physically strong already at 18 and successful.
01:02 So yeah, if he continues this way, he's going to have a very bright career ahead of him,
01:07 no doubt.
01:08 When you're in a match like that that gets complicated, how much confidence do you draw
01:16 from your record at this event, just knowing how many times you've won on that court, how
01:19 many times you've found a way on that court?
01:22 I mean, I think it's probably more helpful at the beginning.
01:27 As it was the case today, he made some double faults in the first game.
01:30 I broke his serve and you could see he was nervous.
01:34 I think it helps at the beginning really to kind of make your presence even bigger on
01:43 the court when they're calling out the achievements and the scores and everything that you basically
01:50 achieved on this tournament.
01:52 I think it's impossible for players not to hear that and not to feel that, especially
01:58 for a young player like him.
01:59 But then I played one loose game in the second set, handed him the break.
02:03 I rebroke, but I could feel that he's starting to feel more comfortable.
02:09 He's not missing as much.
02:10 It was some grueling rallies.
02:13 I mean, very physical game.
02:15 I mean, almost four hours before sets, I felt at some point that I was playing myself in
02:20 the mirror already.
02:24 I hear that he liked to watch me when he was going up.
02:30 He's got an incredible defence, especially from the backhand side.
02:35 Very all-round game.
02:36 Of course, he's got every shot in the game to improve, but for an 18-year-old, I think
02:43 I'm most impressed with his physical state.
02:47 His legs are super strong and so solid.
02:52 And also, mentality.
02:56 He came out there not with the desire to just play a nice set or enjoy the experience,
03:02 but rather to win.
03:05 Kudos to him.
03:06 It was impressive.
03:07 I don't think that the achievements here really win the match, but it does help at the beginning
03:12 to maybe get off to a good start, which was the case.
03:18 But then again, he didn't win the match for me tonight.
03:22 Given that you have a little extra recovery time and you haven't been feeling your best,
03:30 how do you plan the next two days?
03:33 Will you actually take some time off?
03:35 I will discuss with my team tomorrow, see if I maybe skip practice tomorrow, tennis
03:41 practice, and maybe do some light work, gym, jog, and some specific exercises just to keep
03:49 my body in shape.
03:52 I've done it.
03:54 Last year, I haven't practiced in between any match, really.
03:59 It was different circumstances because I was injured, but I think now with two days, it's
04:05 quite useful after playing a four-hour opening round.
04:08 So let's see how I wake up tomorrow and then we'll play it by ear.
04:13 Last one in English.
04:15 They're trying out a new policy of letting people from the crowd into the stadium between
04:20 each game.
04:21 I think I heard you make some comments about that.
04:23 What are your thoughts about that?
04:24 I did not know about that new policy or new rule.
04:32 I understand the motive behind it is to enhance and improve the experience for fans.
04:43 We do play for fans.
04:45 We want fans to have a great, thrilling experience of being out on the court.
04:54 Like Thiafoe, for example, was one of the players that was saying that we should let
04:57 people, like in the other sports, freely walk and talk during matches.
05:05 It's hard, I must say.
05:06 I understand that and I support it to some extent, but at the same time, all my career,
05:12 all my life, I've been used to some kind of atmosphere and when that changes, it kind
05:19 of messes up and distracts you a bit.
05:22 Today we lost quite a bit of time when they were letting people in to come to their seats.
05:32 Even though it was not a changeover, we would wait.
05:35 My opponent would wait for them to sit down.
05:39 It was dragged a lot.
05:41 I don't know if it's really the best rule, but I do understand that from a tournament
05:48 and fans' perspective, it's probably better because they don't want to wait.
05:51 They want to come out, they want to enjoy every single point.
05:54 I'm kind of divided between the two, in a way.
