Novak Djokovic: 'I am still lacking determination'
Novak Djokovic came straight to presser following his three-set loss to Daniil Medvedev in the Monte Carlo Masters quarter-finals. The Serb said: "I was up all three service games that I lost in the third set. I had game point and, yeah, just some loose points on drop shots and double faults and can quickly turn around on clay. I obviously still am lacking that, you know, I think determination to go for the shots maybe in some points. Just too many unforced errors. Too many unforced errors. He was very patient. He played well tactically. But, yeah, I mean, I found my game end of the second set. I played fine. And then started off -- the first couple games were pretty good in the third, but then, yeah, just quite a loose set. And it happens."
Djokovic also praised Medvedev: "He's a very solid backhand. He doesn't make many mistakes from the backhand. He hits it very low with depth. You know, a windy day like today, you know, conditions are changing every single game. It's kind of tough, you know, to find the rhythm, and he doesn't give you much rhythm. He's got a big serve. His forehand can be effective, but also, he can make mistakes from that corner, so the backhand is obviously the more solid one. But he improved his movement a lot since last year. He definitely deserves to be where he is."
