Novak Djokovic: 'Denis Shapovalov has nothing to lose'
Denis Shapovalov will watch some highlights of the Rafael Nadal's matches against Novak Djokovic in order to learn something more about how to face the Serb on Saturday.
In press conference, Djokovic said he is not worried by it: "Actually I'm glad to hear that, that he's doing his homework and research. It's important for a young player", the 31-year-old explained. "He's impressive not just as a talented tennis player but also how he goes about his professionalism, his commitments, how he deals with pressure, how confident he is on the court. Quite impressive. I've been following him the last couple years because he's one of the NextGen stars, promising young players. Yeah, he's very pumped. He brings a lot of energy to the court, which is great to see. I expect a really interesting encounter. He will not have anything really to lose, so I'm sure he's going to come out really pumped. On the other hand, in terms of his preparation, I guess he knows what he's doing. Nadal and him, yes, I mean, the only thing they're sharing I think is the left hand. I don't think they share many similarities in their game. I think it's quite different."
