WATCH: Novak Djokovic lets out all of his frustrations after French Open win


Novak Djokovic was in no mood to hide his delight at winning his French Open quarter-final against Matteo Berrettini.

Djokovic was outstanding in his clash with the Italian, and he needed to be to resist the Italian’s relentless big hitting.

After winning match point Djokovic showed exactly how much it meant to him, too.

“This match had it all: falls, a crowd, a break. It was a lot of intensity,” Djokovic explained.

“I just felt under tension the entire time. I felt like I missed some of the chances to end the match in the third set.

“I didn’t want to give him too many opportunities to dictate the match.

“That’s why it was just super, super stressful to constantly be under pressure on my service games because his service games were quite smooth with [his] big serve.

“The reaction in the end was just me liberating that tension that was building up for the entire match.”
