“What I learned in that last game was zero because I had a stress fracture in my rib, and that was hard to learn a lot because, honestly, the pain was terrible playing that game,” Nadal said.
“We didn’t know we had a stress fracture in the rib during the game, but I knew something was going very wrong, very wrong during the game, because the pain was too much.
“Obviously he is playing at a very, very high level, having a great season, winning games everywhere. The week before Wimbledon he won the tournament. It will be a tough quarterfinal against a great player. But at the same time we are in the quarterfinals, so you can’t expect an easy opponent. “

A South African-born tennis player of Welsh mother and Scottish father, raised in New Zealand and whose college education brought him to the United States now has the weight of a nation at the All England Club. How did the question imply, however, which one? “My background is obviously from several places,” Norrie continued. “But I live here, based here …”

Djokovic said: “He was the best player during the first two sets, but I had a break in the toilet and a lively talk in the mirror, it’s true, sometimes these things are necessary. The rest of the toilet was the turning point.
“There was no aggression. It was just a talk of encouragement, a positive talk. Because you feel negative and depressed in those moments, it really gives you an effect.
“That’s what I did. I did it after losing two sets in the Roland Garros final, and today it worked. It doesn’t always work. It’s not a guarantee that it will always work.
“But I just felt like I had to change something. I didn’t play well, I didn’t feel good on the court, I was dominated by Sinner.
“Fortunately, the Grand Slams are played in the top five, so I had a chance to come back.”
