What Djokovic said
Following his win against Zverev, journalist Alex Corretja had an interview with the tennis star, as reported by Sportnieuws
"Good evening, everyone. Thank you for being here. Thank you for your support; it was truly beautiful tonight. It was tactically difficult; I was trying to find a rhythm, using drop shots at the net. You can't see it on TV, but there was a lot of wind, and it felt different on each side.
"It can be very tricky, and there was a lot of pressure and nerves. I had to deal with various things against Zverev, who is one of the best in the world. I wish him all the best for the rest of the season."

"I want to tell Feliciano that I need his help to get out of tricky situations. I play a running-based game. At 38, that's tough; it's not easy to run this much, especially in matches like these.
"This is one of the nights I still play for," Djokovic told his friend, the former Spanish tennis player, who was courtside as a commentator.
"I don't know how to say this in French. I'll say something the fans shouldn't hear. First of all, I'm focused on my breathing, because of the many difficult rallies and solving tactical problems.
"I also had to fight against the wind and figure out how to serve. I did what I had to do; I spent time training very hard, and in the end, everything came together at the right moment."
