The final score was 6-3, 5-7, 6-2, in a match where the physical endurance of the world number one was put to the test. After losing the second set, Djokovic needed medical assistance. After a long exchange that culminated in a missed forehand, the Serbian tennis player fell to the ground. He remained lying on his back, with his forearm over his eyes, before being attended to by a member of the medical team. He received medical treatment before the third set, but managed to recover. He broke Munar’s serve immediately, taking advantage of an error by his opponent. Djokovic, 38 years old, avoided the traditional post-match interview, but shared his feelings on social media.Djokovic: “Tough day at the office. Very challenging physically.”
