Qatar Open: Novak Djokovic laments aging body following first round loss

The tennis icon was upset 7-6(4), 6-2 by world No. 35 Matteo Berrettini in the opening round of the ATP 500 tournament in Doha. The Serbian was unable to break Berrettini's serve as the Italian delivered one of the finest performances of his career. Berrettini, a former world No 6, had not beaten Djokovic in four previous encounters — including a showdown in the 2021 Wimbledon final. Djokovic was playing his first singles match since a hamstring tear forced him to retire from his Australian Open semi-final match with Alexander Zverev last month. The 37-year-old sustained the injury early in his four-set quarter-final victory over Carlos Alcaraz at Melbourne Park. The 24-time Grand Slam winner's ability to avoid and recover from injuries has been remarkable for much of his career, but he has dealt with more physical issues in recent seasons. Last year, Djokovic tore the medial meniscus in his right knee at the French Open but managed to recuperate from surgery in time to play at Wimbledon - where he reached the final. He then secured the Olympic gold medal in his next tournament. In his press conference after losing to Berrettini, Djokovic discussed how he is still trying to improve as a player and also addressed his recent increase in injuries. "I am trying to improve my game, as everybody else. But my game is not going to change now drastically," he explained. "I'm not going to play serve and volley, maybe every once in a while, but my game is what it is, the core is going to be the same. I'm going to try to adjust depending on the surface that I play on and so forth. "There are more injuries. Things are not the same as 10 years ago, 15 years ago. I still try to take care of my body on a daily basis, and it's more challenging now, no doubt. I still try to do my very best, given the circumstances." Berrettini gave his reaction to Djokovic describing his performance as a masterclass. "I think he told me at the net at the end," the 28-year-old said. "But everyone was screaming and I was trying to tell him that I had finally beaten him (laughs). We spoke in Italian and I was very happy. "I think I heard him say that, but at the time I didn't quite understand. It's obviously a huge honour when someone like him says that about your game. I really think it was one of the best matches of my career. I felt good from the first point. "But against Novak, you know you're going to have to maintain that level for potentially two or three hours. I had prepared for it and I'm very proud of my performance. The more the match went on, the more I felt good about it. In general, it's a good sign."

Aryna Sabalenka bundled out of Dubai Tennis Championships

The world No. 1 looked far more like her usual self during her opening match against Veronika Kudermetova, however, appeared to regress during the 6-3, 6-2 loss to the Dane. The Belarusian's loss occurs in the wake of her first-round loss at the Qatar Open, where she fell to Ekatarina Alexandrova, and a heartbreaking three-set loss to Madison Keys in the final of the Australian Open. "I believe that I'm not that hungry on court," stated Sabalenka after her Dubai exit. "I'm kind of all over the place in my thoughts and not consistent on the court. The decisions I'm making on the court are a bit wrong and emotionally, I'm not at my best. "I'd say that for the last couple of years, I'm not doing well in the Middle East. I believe we need to change something in the preparation," said the world No 1, who also lost in her opening-round match in Dubai in 2024 and fell ill just prior to the 2025 edition. "Every time I don't feel well playing here. Even health-wise I'm struggling. Australia always takes a lot of energy out of me. "I believe we just need to think with the team for the future how we can improve or get better in the preparation for the Middle East." Aryna Sabalenka is next scheduled to participate at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, taking place March 2 – March 16. Tauson, who defeated Elina Svitolina in her previous match, was delighted with her unlikely victory: "I've had some crazy 24 hours after yesterday. I think I slept maybe five hours last night. We went to sleep at 3:30am and I didn't know what shape I was going to come out here in. But a pretty good one it seems. "I was playing some great tennis, and I felt like, after the match at the Australian Open, I really felt like I had a chance," said the Dane, reflecting on her 7-6(5), 6-4 loss to Sabalenka in Melbourne just a few weeks prior. "It was about taking my chances today, and I did—though I could have taken even more. "Now that we've played twice, I feel like my pace may be even higher than hers - though she's obviously more consistent than I am! We play very similar games. I like the way she plays and the way the ball comes off the racquet. It's heavier, obviously, but I felt like I had a good read on it today, especially her second serve, which I had a lot of trouble with in Australia." Clara Tauson will next play Linda Noskova in the quarter-finals of the WTA 1000 in Dubai.
