The Serbian Novak Djokovic is already in the semifinals of the Monte Carlo Masters 1000, to which he had not reached since when he won the title in 2015, after winning this Friday at Alex De Minaurwith partials 7-5, 6-4.
Djokovic had not made it past the quarterfinals since that year, but he had reached that stage in 2017 and 2019.
Without worries
This Saturday the Norwegian will be measured Casper Ruud (10), finalist in Roland Garros in 2022 and 2023, or into French Ugo Humbert (15th).
“I have suffered but I am happy to have passed. Neither of us played at a good level and it gave way to physical battle,” said the 36-year-old tennis player.
“A victory is a victory and I am happy to qualify for the semifinals,” he said.
However, he referred to his reaction after the boos from the public that was present on the sports stage in a past game.
“I wasn't feeling comfortable in front of Musetti, when the stands started booing me. I don't look for problems with them, but if they start doing that, I will play better. If I feel like I don't deserve that, I will react. “I grew up with that mentality,” he said.
Djokovic, once he realized what was happening, began to mime an orchestra conductor, which did not go down well with people.
“I pretended to conduct it like an orchestra and that helped me relax,” he sentenced.
