Djokovic finds positives in the first loss of the season
Novak Djokovic's first loss of the season at the 2023 Dubai Championships was a tough pill to swallow, especially after coming back from injury.
However, the world No.1 found positives in his performance, despite the defeat. Djokovic's resilience and determination were on full display throughout the tournament, and he showcased his incredible skill despite fighting an injury only recently.
The Serbian superstar had been sidelined with a hamstring tear after winning the Australian Open, but he proved that he is still a top-class player by reaching the semi-finals in Dubai. Djokovic fought hard against Daniil Medvedev, who is currently ranked World No.7, but ultimately fell short in straight sets.
“Oh, lots of positives. The way I felt throughout the entire week makes me really satisfied with the current state of my body, not knowing how I’m going to react with the comeback after an injury. I’m really glad," the Serbian superstar said.
