“I’ve actually erased it. I’ve actually, believe it or not, I’ve done some work into forgetting what has happened in the past. It hasn’t really affected me much, I would say,” he explained. Tsitsipas could benefit from the best-of-three set format at the Olympics, making that type of comeback impossible for Djokovic, but he’s not taking any chances.
He added: “I don’t think the format has anything to do with that, I’ve played him in best-of-three, I just need to get out and try and be better the rest of the times that I’ve played him.” And despite his huge lead in their head-to-head, Djokovic is also expecting a dogfight.
“I don’t expect anything less than a big fight and tight match. [He has a] big serve, big forehand, I know his game very well. He’s probably preferring clay over other surfaces,” the world No. 2 said. “If you see his results he’s played in a couple of Grand Slam finals already, against me actually, here [and] in Australia as well. Just he’s been one of the most consistent guys out there on the tour the last five, 10 years. He knows how to deal with pressure, he loves to represent his country. Let the better player win.”
