However, Djokovic was happy with his performance in the last week as he feels things are progressing slowly but surely for him.<\/p>\n<p>It hasn\u2019t been easy for Djokovic as he has lacked match practice. The Serbian couldn\u2019t play much during the hard court season as he is unvaccinated against Covid-19.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Djokovic felt he didn\u2019t have enough fuel in his tank for the third set against Rublev after he was bagelled in the final set. The Serbian had played a couple of three-setters before his final and he wasn\u2019t at the top of his fitness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have to look at the positives. [I] played the final in front of my home crowd,&#8221; Djokovic said in his post-match press conference. &#8220;It was unfortunate that in the third set I ran out of gas and couldn\u2019t give it more of a fight. Congrats to Andrey for playing another great week. He is at the top of the men\u2019s game and one of the best players for a reason.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI could have easily lost in the first match, so after four tough three-set battles all I can say is I am tired. Winning the tough three-set battles before this match will serve me well for the continuation of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Djokovic was able to take the match to the final set after winning the second set in a tiebreaker. However, the home favorite couldn&#8217;t show a fight in the final set as he ran out of energy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t feel too tired until the end of the second set,\u201d Djokovic said when reflecting on the match. \u201cThe 5-4 game was a long game and that is when I started to not feel great. I think I played well in the tie-break. I came out ready to fight another set, but it wasn\u2019t [a] very pleasant thing for people to see on the court, so I am sorry for that kind of experience as I knew people wanted to see me fight and try and win. But it wasn\u2019t to be this time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt least this bad feeling physically came in the fourth match rather than the first match in Monte Carlo,\u201d Djokovic said. \u201cThings are progressing slowly but surely.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Djokovic knows he is not at the top of his fitness right now and he would work hard to be in the best shape possible before the Roland Garros.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Novak Djokovic\u2019s hunt for the first title of the season continued as he lost to Russia\u2019s Andrey Rublev in the Serbia Open final by 6-2, 6-7(4), 6-0 on Sunday.
