Djokovic Advances in Shanghai Despite Physical Difficulties

Shanghai – Novak Djokovic demonstrated his tenacity by overcoming a complicated match at the Shanghai Masters, where he defeated Jaume Munar with scores of 6-3, 5-7, and 6-2. The match, played in hot and humid conditions, tested the Serbian tennis player’s endurance. After losing the second set, Djokovic requested medical assistance. After a long exchange that culminated in a forehand out, Djokovic fell to the ground, remaining lying down for several seconds. Then, he sat down and rested his head between his legs before being attended to by a trainer. He received medical treatment before the third set and managed to break Munar’s serve immediately. His opponent missed an easy smash when leading 40-15.

Djokovic wrote on X: “Tough day at the office. Very challenging physically.”
