Novak Djokovic commented on reaching the quarterfinals of Roland Garros.
The Serb defeated Francisco Cerundolo 6:1, 5:7, 3:6, 7:5, 6:3 in 4 hours 39 minutes.


- Now everything looks very positive, but there are some doubts. Tomorrow we will have to examine everything in more detail.


I`m glad that I was able to play five sets, at the end I didn`t feel the pain that I had a couple of sets before. It`s good that the Slams have a day between matches. Let`s see what the survey results by soccer predictions show.


Conditions this year are unusual: rain, temperature, humidity. All this affects the surface; it is just as alive as the grass. It`s always hard, but here you can influence the coverage.


The ground at Roland Garros is the best in the world, by a landslide. Before the match, I spoke with one of the people in charge of the court, saying that it was slippery and that the court might need additional care.


In some places it seemed as if there was not enough soil itself. It`s slippery in this weather. That`s why I got injured. Everyone slides on the ground, but I usually do it often, change direction abruptly, and it had an effect.


That`s why I asked the judge to tend the court more often, not just after sets. Maybe after two or three transitions. The judge said he would discuss it, but the answer was ultimately no. I don`t understand why it couldn`t be done this way. I would just like to understand why it is so difficult, why not do it.


The conditions this year are unusual, the court staff work hard and well. But I want to understand: what else should we expect on the court? I got injured. I was able to win, but I don`t know whether I`ll play in the next match. Looks like this could have been prevented.





- Yesterday I played petanque and had a very calm day. I slept almost the whole day, did physical exercises, including in the water. And I tried to sleep normally again - it worked.


Fortunately, I was able to generally recover. Physically I`m fine. In addition, the unpredictable happened, this injury.


In recent days we have been paying more attention to the knee - as if we could predict that something might happen. It seems to be the weakest point in my body right now. In the last few weeks it has been like this, and circumstances pushed this injury, " Sports correspondent Andrei Vasiliev quotes Djokovic as saying.
