The 39-year-old Serbian veteran had no choice but to admit that he could not adjust his condition on the spot.

After Djokovic laughed at his record-breaking seventh men's singles title at the China Open, he was ranked 10th at the ATP Thousand Points Shanghai Station and received a bye in the first round against his Polish opponent Hubert Hubert, who is 10 years younger than him. Hurkacz), suffered 13 ace bombs, fought hard for 1 hour and 28 minutes, and was eliminated in 4:6, 3:6 in straight games. "I didn't adjust well, and I didn't feel like myself on the court. The court speed here is very fast, which is completely different from Beijing. Once you lose the serve, it is enough to lose the entire game."

Hurkacs, who took sweet revenge, finally ended his 8-game losing streak against Djokovic in his career. "It's very special. I have played against Novak for 7 years and have never won. He has been a great champion for many years and has been active at the top of the tour. He just won the Beijing championship, so it is very difficult to compete with him. I feel very honored to play against this tennis legend."
