Novak Djokovic gave a brutally honest verdict of his results after losing to Casper Ruud in the semi-final of the Monte-Carlo Masters. The world No. 1 wasted no time in getting away after his disappointing defeat, holding a brief press conference less than 20 minutes after coming off of the court.
Djokovic suffered his first defeat to Ruud in six meetings on Saturday. He gave the match away on a double fault as the world No. 10 came through 7-5 1-6 6-4.
It means that the Serb still hasn’t reached a final in the 2024 season, let alone lifted a title. And Djokovic made a savage statement about his results this season, admitting that they hadn’t been up to scratch.
“Well, I mean, I’m used to really high standard in terms of expectations of the results, so not having a title is, maybe comparing to the last 15 years, not a great season at all,” he said in a short appearance in front of the media minutes after his loss.
