The competition for the 2022 ATP Dubai leg continued, and djokovic, the world's number one and number one seed of the tournament, once again continued the fiery feel, defeating Khachanov in two straight sets and successfully reaching the men's singles quarterfinals. It was Djokovic's debut after the Australian Open, and the Serbian king, who missed the best time for 21 titles, will fight to tie nadal's record in Roland Garros, France. This Dubai race is of great importance to Djokovic, if he can win the championship, he will sweep away the haze, while regaining confidence, he will also enter the clay season with a stronger posture.
In hard-court, clay and grass seasons, Djokovic's worst at it is clay. Djokovic was pushed to the forefront after the 2022 Australian Open deportation, but the world number one was not affected. He said in an interview that he must learn to face the reality, he has experienced many big winds and waves, no matter how big the difficulties are, the pace of progress will not stop. When he came to Dubai, Djokovic's purpose was to fully warm up himself and prepare for the clay season.
Interestingly, after taking Khachanov to advance to the quarter-finals, Djokovic was "calculated" again in the post-match press conference. A reporter at the scene asked Djokovic what he thought of Zverev in Acapulco, who smashed the referee's bench during the game. This problem caught Djokovic a little off guard, after all, he had done many things on the field that were "incompatible" with the game. However, the powerful world number one did not escape the topic, he said that he had also made mistakes in the past, lost his temper, and could understand what athletes were experiencing on the field, but he was not defending Zverev.
For the disqualification of Zverev, Deyo did not think that the penalty was too harsh. He also ridiculed himself a year and a half ago in the US Open, because he had no intention of playing tennis in the line referee, and was disqualified by the referee. Many netizens believe that Djokovic has largely become a "negative teaching material" for everyone since the Australian Open. As long as there are penalties, controversies, players making trouble, etc., Djokovic cannot escape the "palm" of media reporters. Like Djokovic, Nadal's match at Acapulco was a great success.
The French Open is getting closer and closer, and the most talked about topic among fans is, djokovic and Nadal, who can win the 2022 French Open men's singles title? The former is the defending champion and the latter is the winner of the 13 titles. In this regard, Djokovic also said that he was shocked and proud of Nadal winning the 21st Grand Slam of his career, and the king of clay will be full of confidence in the upcoming French Open. After Dubai, Djokovic will start preparing for the clay season, can he catch up with Nadal in Roland Garros?
