Novak Djokovic. Feeling a sudden pain in his leg, he stopped and said “sorry” before laughing and continuing the conversation. Mencic later revealed that he hurt his left leg during the straight sets win against Fonseca. The affair started late in the second set and affected his movement and serve.“Yeah, I mean, in the first two sets I was controlling the game pretty well,” Minsky said.“Unfortunately, at the end of the second set I started to feel some pain in my left leg, which was bothering me during the serve.See:“So, I mean, I was definitely afraid of what that was? Luckily, it was just a tight muscle. Because of that, I dropped my focus a little bit.”The teenager added that the pain eased as the match progressed, allowing him to regain control and finish strongly.Minsky has already dealt with physical problems in the tournament and even struggled to walk after a second-round win over Mariano Navon in the heat of Paris.

I had already managed all the things I needed to do.”“Yes, as the tournament goes on, I’m playing better and better.”“It’s a different situation now. Of course, the semi-finals. I would say the big match, the best of five. I mean, yeah, I’m excited for the challenge.”
