Novak Djokovic: 'I never thought about withdrawing from Paris Masters'
Novak Djokovic was asked if he thought about withdrawing from the Paris Masters as he is dealing with a fever. The Serbian player replied: "No, not really. No. Because I actually, when I came here Friday, I felt okay first couple days. And then the last three days, you know, some things unfortunately caught up with me. And I'm, you know, health-wise not feeling my best. But, as I said, I actually had quite a few cases where I was already in a tournament and kind of getting better as days go by.
Of course, it affects your energy, your vitality on the court. You know, your alertness, attention, endurance, all these different things are affected. Obviously it's not ideal, but in this kind of circumstances you just have to accept it and do everything that you can to recover. I guess, you know, you don't really have time now. I'm going to play every day if I'm winning. But I've had cases before where I actually felt pretty bad, but I managed somehow to go through the tournament and even win tournaments. So I'm hoping and I'm believing I can feel better every day."
Moutet spoke about the tweener lob he hit: "What did I have in my mind? Well, it was the only option. I did a lot of passing shots and he answered with a volley. I tried lobs. And it's not that I thought about it. I had no choice. I had a fraction of a second to make a decision. I tried to do it. It's a nice shot, but it's just one point in the end. It's not that important ultimately."
