Djokovic 6-3 6-4 6-2 Misolic
Sixth seed Novak Djokovic, speaking via an interpreter, after beating Filip Misolic: “First match for me on the night session. Obviously different, I spent all day with anticipation.
“I remember the last time I was playing here at
night, the one that finished at 3am – I was hoping this one wouldn’t finish at
3am.
“I was solid during the big moments in all three sets. Filip
had nothing to lose, he’s a good friend, we trained together. I’m really happy
for him, I’m glad he played so well tonight. He deserves another round of
applause.
“I’m just hoping
to carry on. Every time I step onto this court I’m playing for history. It’s incredible,
this sport that has given me everything in my life. I want to give back the
love I experience when I’m playing.”
