Beautiful words from Novak Djokovic about Hubert Hurkacz

After the meeting, the Serb commented on the rivalry with Hubert Hurkacz. – “Hubi” is a very good guy and is very liked in the Tour. She has a great character and is a very nice person. I’m glad I got to play with him today, even though I love him as a person and less as a tennis player! He always manages to put me in a difficult situation with his serve. It’s really hard to answer that question, said the 36-year-old, quoted by tennisworldusa.com.

– We play here in Turin at almost 300 meters above sea level and if you serve well you have a huge advantage. He served incredibly well, but in the end I managed to win,” he added.

– Honestly, no, the 36-year-old replied.

– My children are coming today, so I won’t watch the match. I will stay with my family. My work is done, let’s see what happens. I’ll think about it tomorrow in case I qualify for the semi-finals,” he concluded.
