喬科維奇慘敗後發言不得體？ 惹惱賽會主辦總監
2020/11/03 15:52

〔體育中心／綜合報導〕世界球王喬科維奇為拼球王積分，戰略性放棄打本週的巴黎大師
賽、選擇打上週ATP500的維也納公開賽，不料在前2輪贏球確定取得年終球王寶座後，第3
輪喬帥就以2：6、1：6慘敗，賽後發言還引起維也納的總監不滿。

喬科維奇上週在維也納晉級8強獲得90分積分，確立年終球王寶座，隨後在8強戰爆冷敗給
世界排名42的義大利新星索涅戈（Lorenzo Sonego），這是喬帥生涯首度輸給以幸運輸家
資格晉級的選手，只拿3局更是他職業生涯在3盤2勝制比賽拿的最少局數。


賽後喬帥在記者會上表示：「已取得年終第一這件事情對我今天的比賽有影響。我已達成
來這裡的目的，我對今天的結果感到滿意，我很健康，期待接下來在倫敦的ATP年終賽取
得良好成績。」

根據《Tennis World USA》報導，維也納公開賽的賽事總監 Herwig Straka 針對喬帥這
段發言感到不滿：「那樣的表態沒有必要，就算你真是這麼想的，也不該在記者會上說出
來。」

而其實比賽當天，喬帥信奉的東正教主教 Amfilohije Radovic 去世的消息，也影響到了
喬帥的心情。

喬帥表示：「這的確是悲傷的一天。我與他有一面之緣，被他獨特的魅力所吸引，儘管他
的肉體已經殞滅，靈魂仍與我們同在。」「他去世的消息確實影響到了我，但也沒有到讓
我無法好好比賽的程度。我來到維也納是有目標的，我完成了。今天確實很奇怪，但事已
至此，我要向前看。」

喬科維奇也讚賞對手打得很棒，值得這場勝利。索涅戈隨後也奪得了賽會的亞軍。

Vienna tournament director Herwig Straka admitted that he wasn't thrilled with
the comments world No. 1 Novak Djokovic made after his stunning defeat in the
Vienna quarterfinal. Djokovic, seeded at No. 1 in the Vienna main draw, suffe
red a 6-2 6-1 loss to Italian Lorenzo Sonego -- probably the most surprising s
coreline of the season.


Sonego broke Djokovic twice in the first set, three times in the second set an
d dropped no service games en route to a dominant win over Djokovic. "Yes, cli
nching the year-end No. 1 ranking had an effect on me today. I’ve done what I
came here for, securing the number 1.

And I move completely fine with today’s result. I'm healthy and looking forwa
rd to a strong finish in London," Djokovic admitted after losing to Sonego. Wh
en asked about those comments, Straka didn't appear to be too thrilled.

"I find such statements unnecessary - even when you think so, you don't say it
at a press conference," Straka said, per Sport Klub.

Djokovic was also in grief after the death of a Serbian bishop

Amfilohije Radovic, Metropolitan of Montenegro and the Littoral, a prominent f
igure within the Serbian Orthodox Church, passed away on Friday before Djokovi
c's match against Sonego.


"Yes, this is a very sad day,” Djokovic said of Radovic's death, per Tennis M
ajors. “I was privileged enough and honoured to have met him, to spend some t
ime with him and to feel the beautiful energy he possessed.

Although he is physically not with us anymore, I am sure that his spirit will
be felt among us for a very long time. “I think that we ought to remember him
with a smile and to be grateful for everything that he has done, especially r
ecently with the political turmoil in Montenegro.

There was a lot at stake, particularly when it comes to the church; he was cou
rageous in leading the way and he set an example in how to preserve and nurtur
e our cultural heritage and traditions”. Djokovic admitted he didn't feel lik
e playing too much after Radovic's death.


"Yes, to be honest I did not feel like playing too much,” Djokovic admitted.
“The sad news did have an effect on me, but not the extent that I could not p
lay. I have come to Vienna with a goal and I have fulfilled it.

This was admittedly a very weird day, but it is what it is. I move on and I am
turning a new page. I am going to spend some time with my family, I am coming
back to Serbia, which I am looking forward to. I will have a good preparation
for London in order to have a strong ending to the season”.
