Starting with the Australian Open, through the Doha Men's Open, all the way to the Indian Wells Tennis Masters, Djokovic has swallowed three straight defeats, he said: "There's always something going on, but I don't want to talk about it, I mean, there's no excuse for not performing well, congratulations to my opponent, for me it's just a bad day, I'm disappointed with my own level of tennis considering how I've been training lately." ”

"If you look at things objectively, you've been consistent over the years and have had a great career, you have high expectations, but last year was obviously different for me, I've been trying to be at my best for a couple of years, and every now and then I'll have good performances in a few tournaments, but you know, most of the time it's really a challenge and it's been a struggle for me. ”

Djokovic also pointed out what it's like to play on the court, saying: "Centre Court is very different from other courts, the ball bounces a lot higher on Centre Court than on clay, and I struggled with that, I couldn't find my rhythm. ”
