took what was positive from his straight-sets loss to the 14-time Grand Slam winner in the second round on Thursday. The Frenchman admitted the Serb made his life difficult on the court. It was complicated, recognized Tsonga.
It took a little bit to get in the game. I served very bad in the first set, which did not allow me to head into the match in the best conditions. After that, I tried to stay there but it was not easy. It was still a good match to play, which allows me to be aware of all whats left.
It has been three months since I started playing tennis again after not competing for almost the whole year. For me that was a test. When we face the best players in the world, they push us beyond the limit and they headline our difficulties.
Today, to be honest, I do not think I have five sets in my legs to face this kind of players. I have to keep forward, play matches. I know I can do good things. Tsonga, who will play in Montpellier next, added: It was beautiful, thats for sure! It also brings a lot of stress.
I wanted to play well, not be ridiculous. I have some certainties but there are also some doubts, especially after being far away from the courts for a long time. Djokovic reached the fourth round, after defeating Denis Shapovalov in the third round on Saturday.
He will play against Daniil Medvedev, who defeated David Goffin in the third round. ALSO READ: Rafael Nadal: Worse players than David Ferrer won a Grand Slam title
