Djokovic Wins Roma Masters
Novak Djokovic has won the Roma Masters tennis tournament. He defeated the Spanish superstar Rafael Nadal in the final match yesterday and achieved glory. His win was more remarkable because he got that after getting trailed by one set. The final score line of the match was 4-6, 6-3, 6-3 in the favour of Djokovic.
Nadal was probably everybody’s favourite in this match because of the nature of the surface, but, Djokovic who is a place behind Nadal in the world rankings showed his character and ended up proving people wrong.
In the post match interview, the Serbian said, “Whenever you turn up against such a great player, you have a tough task in your hands. Luckily, I ended up on the right side today and I want to dedicate this win to the people of my country who are going through some hard time at the moment.”
Nadal, on the other hand, was not looking as happy, but, he admitted the fact that too many matches in short duration might have exhausted him.
The world no. 1 said, “It’s been difficult few days. May be, I played too many matches back to back, but, you are supposed to do that as a professional player. So, no excuses, Novak played better and thus, he won.”
This win over Nadal has now made Djokovic the red hot favourite for the French Open which is going to start in a few days’ time. The 26 years old Serbian international has improved his clay court game a lot in the recent times and one should not be surprised if he goes all the way at Roland Garros as well.
Djokovic has not won even one French Open singles title in his career so far.
