This is the first time Djokovic has failed in Melbourne since 2018. He had 33 unbeaten matches at the Australian Open, before Sinner cut off this streak on the evening of January 26.

According to ATP statistics, the Serbian tennis player made 54 unnecessary errors in the semi-finals against Sinner. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that Djokovic felt shocked about his poor performance.

“I was shocked with my level because it was really bad. I didn’t do much in the first two games. This was one of the worst Grand Slam matches I’ve ever played,” Djokovic said in the following press conference. match.

“I’m not satisfied with myself. But everyone should praise Sinner because he played better than me in every aspect.

To be honest, I haven’t really played my best throughout this tournament. Besides the match against Mannarino in round 4, I was not at my best in most of the remaining matches.

However, the recent semi-final match was still a great competition. I always have the highest expectations for myself, but that doesn’t mean it will happen today,” Djokovic added.

According to the Serbian player, Sinner has improved a lot. The Italian always serves very strongly from the forehand and backhand angles.

Not only that, Sinner also knows how to maintain a fast pace of play. He gradually became calmer after receiving training from Darren Cahill – who once worked with Djokovic.

The loss to Sinner means Djokovic’s journey towards a 25th Grand Slam title has been missed. However, experts still believe that he will quickly regain his form and make a strong comeback in the next tournaments.
