The start of the 2022 season is definitely the rarest experience of Djokovic's career. Djokovic's refusal to vaccinate him prevented him from being able to compete on the tour normally.
Djokovic, who was caught up in the Australian Open and the Australian government, missed an important opportunity to defend the Australian Open and then played in Dubai, the first leg of the season, without vaccination requirements.
World Number One Djokovic defeated Musetti and Khachanov to reach the quarter-finals in Dubai. Unexpectedly, he lost to Viselli, who was ranked 123rd in the world at the time, 4-6 6-7 (4), and lost two consecutive times to Viselli. As a result, he also lost the title of world number one.
However, Medvedev also failed to sit firmly in the world's first position, and Djokovic, who returned to the world number one, came to the Monte Carlo Masters early to actively train. However, contrary to expectations, the performance of the giants was shocking, losing 3-6 7-6 (5) 1-6 to Fudkina, who later reached the final, and frankly hated the feeling of physical exertion on the decider.
Although Djokovic is a giant and the number one in the world, he is not in good shape due to the lack of systematic participation. How can he remain strongly competitive? Many people pinched a handful of sweat for him.
Djokovic played in his third leg of the season, his native Belgrade. The Serbs, who had suffered bitter fruit, quickly overcame the lack of fitness in the last decisive game. Although his form had not yet reached its peak, stumbling, and playing three sets with compatriots Jerry and Ketzmanovic, in the end he all survived and successfully won the decider and reached the final four.
In the semi-finals, Khachanov, trying to turn around and take revenge, won the first set 6-4, but quickly woke up Djokovic's touch. The last two sets were won 6-1, 6-2, achieving a five-game winning streak against Khachanov.
This is his three consecutive rounds of reversal to reach the final, all the way to the top is very difficult. There is a saying that the Serbian king seized the opportunity to play on the tour for the third time and successfully reached the final. It was his first final this season and the 124th of his career, with the third number of at-team at-largest number of ATP Tour finals, with the top two being Federer and Nadal.
After the match, Djokovic said it was not his will to play three sets, and he also affirmed his performance, saying: "I have gained confidence and improved. I look forward to taking on the challenge of being one of the world's top ten. His final opponent was the world's top ten rubles, who defeated Fognini 6-2 6-2.
The world number one said very much wanted to win the championship, saying bluntly after the game: "I want to survive this competition, I am very happy with everything at the moment, we have made a lot of progress, which is a good opportunity for Belgrade and Serbia." With over 1,000 TV stations broadcasting the event this year, we have prepared a wonderful event for the audience. ”
Djokovic and Rublev have a record of 1:0, and if he doesn't win the title, it doesn't matter, it's a timely rain. Later, the Madrid Masters and the Rome Masters also provided him with warm-up opportunities to prepare for the French Open. Novak, come on! (Source: Tennis House Author: Stray Rabbit)
