PODCAST - Djokovic Stuns Alcaraz For Cincinnati Title

The ATP Tennis Radio Podcast

NOVAK DJOKOVIC ON ADAPTING TO HOT CONDITIONS - ‘When it’s really warm on the hard court the heat is absorbed in the surface, so the subjective feeling on the court is 10-20 degrees higher then it is on the outside of the court, so you have to deal with all these different things, but you train for that’.

TODD MARTIN ON NOVAK DJOKOVIC’S RELENTLESSNESS - 'Novak has had a couple of long stretches where I don’t think anybody has been more difficult to beat. He defends better than anyone else and he has a mind, when he is focussed, that’s impenetrable’.

STEFANOS TSITSIPAS ON TURNING 25 - ‘I feel older obviously, wiser and much happier than I was a few years ago in terms of being out here and doing what I really love. I feel this is my home and I embrace every single bit of it’.

BEN SHELTON ON FOOD - ‘It’s really important for me that it’s not all about counting calories because it’s good to eat a lot with how much we’re training as tennis players and if you can just keep it clean then you can eat as much as you want if you’re eating good things that are healthy, so I’m not worried about the volume, but just how clean the food is that I put in my body’.

MATTEO BERRETTINI ON GETTING OVER INJURY FROM A MENTAL PERSPECTIVE - ‘Injuries are always tough and unfortunately in my career I’ve had many and every time I thought I wouldn’t make it and then I made it, so you have to learn how to react. Suffering a little bit and really feeling what makes you sad helps you to get better and back on track’.
