Djokovic has been recovering from a thigh injury for a few weeks. Last month he was even eliminated in Doha in the first round. The Serbian did not want to use that as an excuse: “There are no apologies for my bad performance. It was a bad day,” said Djokovic, to congratulate Van de Zandschulp. “I thought he scored a few very good points on my service,” said Djokovic about the Veenendaler. “But I shouldn’t be in that position. I shouldn’t let that happen.”
