'The guy’s drunk out of his mind. ... He’s been provoking. He just wants to get in my head.' - Novak Djokovic aired his grievance over heckler, overcame a leg problem and advanced at the Australian Open.
MELBOURNE, Australia — Novak Djokovic propped up his left shoe on a courtside sign so he could stretch out a hamstring that he acknowledged afterward concerns him. He grimaced while flexing the muscle after one point, hopped on his right leg to keep weight off the left after another. He took a medical timeout while a trainer re-taped him during the second set – which Djokovic would go on to drop.
Seeking a 10th trophy at Melbourne Park, to add to his own record, and a 22nd Grand Slam title overall, to equal Nadal’s, Djokovic put everything aside and beat 191st-ranked French qualifier Enzo Couacaud 6-1, 6-7 , 6-2, 6-0. It was Djokovic’s 23rd consecutive win at the Australian Open, a streak that paused a year ago when he couldn’t play in the tournament because he was not vaccinated against COVID-19."I am worried. I mean, I cannot say that I’m not.
A group of people dressed in red-and-white striped shirts straight out of “Where's Waldo?” left the arena after Djokovic pleaded his case with Murphy about one of them giving him a particularly hard time. This did not shape up as a contest of much intrigue, given that the fourth-seeded Djokovic has done all that he has done, while Couacaud entered with a career mark of 2-5. And whatever Couacaud’s chances were beforehand seemed to dim just four games in, when he turned his right ankle and required a visit from a trainer."You just have to deal with it. One of those circumstances and situations where things are maybe not going perfectly your way," Djokovic said. “But that’s sport.
