The commitment to self-sabotage is immense - Journalist Ben Rothenberg explains how Novak Djokovic had a disappointing year By
Parag Jain Modified Oct 09, 2022 10:00 AM IST Follow Us Comment Share Ben Rothenberg has something to say about Novak Djokovic once again With a win-loss record of 32-6 so far this season, Novak Djokovic has already won three ATP singles titles, including the Rome Masters, the 2022 Wimbledon Championships, and the Tel Aviv Open.

Journalist Ben Rothenberg, who doesn't seem to get along with Djokovic and is known for targeting him on social media, recently conducted a poll on his Twitter account.

The Greek reached the last-two after defeating the likes of Mikhail Kukushkin, Luca Nardi, Hubert Hurkacz, and Andrey Rublev. Meanwhile, on his way to the final, the Serb downed players like Cristian Garin, Botic van de Zandschulp, Karen Khachanov, and Daniil Medvedev. His semifinal against Medvedev ended abruptly when the Russian decided to retire after the second set.

The legendary player lost the first set 6-4 but fought back in the second set to win in a tie-break. After the match, the 35-year-old hoped that Medvedev's leg injury wasn't serious and stated that the Russian was the better player during the course of the match.

He wouldn’t retire a match if he didn’t feel that he could continue or if it didn't worsen his injury. He told me that he pulled an adductor muscle in his leg."
"It was such a close match, particularly in the second set. I would probably say he was a better player on the court in both sets.

I was fighting and trying to find a way. I found a way to win the second, but I’m just sad for the tournament and for these people who were enjoying the battle, and for Daniil that it had to end this way," he added.
