INTERNAZIONALI BNL D'ITALIA


May 16, 2019


Novak Djokovic


Rome, Italy

N. DJOKOVIC/D. Shapovalov

6-1, 6-3

(Transcribed from recorded ATP audio.)

Q. What are you most pleased about with your game today?
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Just how solid I was. I thought I was from back of the court very solid, not giving Denis time to swing. He has a big swing. He can play really with a lot of spin and also a lot of speed and power from back of the court. I took away that time from him.

First set he obviously made a lot of unforced errors. Second set he started playing better and was a closer set. But I thought I had opportunities from the very beginning of his service games.

I served very well. I think that was probably the best shot I've had.

Q. You only have a few hours to recover for the next match. Quite an unusual situation. How challenging is that going to be?
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Well, I didn't spend too much time on the court in this first match. That's a positive obviously in these circumstances. But it's not the first, probably not the last time I'm going to play two matches in a day. I'm looking forward to it.

I've been playing well, feeling well, high confidence. Hopefully I can keep on going.
