Novak Djokovic apologises to John McEnroe at French Open

Novak Djokovic was left “feeling bad” for interrupting John McEnroe’s evaluation on Eurosport of the Serbian tennis star’s victory over Karen Khachanov within the French Open quarter-final. Djokovic stays on track to carry the lads’s all-time file for Grand Slam titles after getting back from a set right down to beat Khachanov.

The 36-year-old got here into the French Open with a couple of query marks with disappointing ends in the warm-up tournaments. But Djokovic has eased any issues about his type within the early rounds of the French Open, having not dropped a single set previous to the quarter-final.

Khachanov then threatened a shock outcome when he took a 1-0 lead over the Serbian tennis icon, however Djokovic was in a position to rapidly get again in management. He ended up serving the competition out to like to clinch his spot within the French Open semi-finals.

McEnroe was impressed by what he noticed from Djokovic, though he felt Khachanov finally ran out of steam. McEnroe: “It’s amazing to even say this but Khachanov had played a lot more.

“He had performed a five-setter first spherical, two 4 setters, you lose sight of that. Djokovic…” But the American tennis hero had to be cut short on Eurosport as Djokovic was ready and waiting for his interview.

Eurosport host Barbara Schett said: “John I’ve to interrupt as a result of we now have a particular visitor. I’m sorry! We’ll get again to you in slightly bit. I hate doing that…”

And Djokovic was equally apologetic at the start of his interview, admitting McEnroe’s post-match analysis is something he enjoys listening to. “First of all I really feel dangerous for chopping John McEnroe in the course of his evaluation and evaluation!” Djokovic began.
