It’s not the first time I’m showing and talking about the significance of Wimbledon in my career and my life,” Djokovic said, before talking about playing under the Centre Court roof and lights after two sets.“It felt really challenging today, Wu deserves a round of applause for his incredible performance. As for how I’m feeling, I’m feeling happy but not the freshest I guess. It didn’t feel like the first round to be honest.Also Read | 2025 reimagined: What if… Novak Djokovic wasn’t injured at Australian Open“It felt like we played two different matches; one with the open roof and the closed roof. It affects the conditions and the moisture of the grass. It becomes more slippery, so you have to adjust and adapt to that but it’s not easy because once you’re in the point you want to give your best.“He put me under a lot of pressure. I’ve never faced him before; I knew that he loves hitting the ball very flat and very aggressively from the back of the court and he loves protecting the line.”
