“I will remember this match for a very long time.

Not only because I won it, but also because of the atmosphere.

It is difficult to describe in words the magnitude of what Rafa has achieved at Roland Garros.

The number of victories he has won on this court is incredible.

When you go there against him, you understand that you need to climb Everest, ”the press service of the tournament quotes Djokovic as saying.

He noted that he did not start the match very well, but on the whole he played well.

“I needed to adapt to his blows.

He has very peculiar strokes.

But that's okay.

I had a clear plan, and I was able to start implementing it already in the first set.

Found my game.

It was my best game at Roland Garros and one of the three best in my entire career in terms of both level and atmosphere.

Both of us were incredibly supportive.

It's good that the audience was allowed to stay.

I will remember this match forever, ”added the Serbian tennis player.

Djokovic defeated Nadal 3: 6, 6: 3, 7: 6 (7: 4), 6: 2, completing six aces, implementing eight break points out of 22 and making three double faults.
