The 60-year-old admitted that the World No.1 was very upset, while giving full credit to Medvedev for being the better player on that day.
He further added that Djokovic was not one to dwell on his losses for too long. The World No. 1 has learned to take his losses in his stride as he understands that defeats are also a part of the game.

Srdjan Djokovic himself has spoken out about Australia's mandatory vaccination protocols in the past. He said that Djokovic could skip the tournament in order to not give in to the government's attempts at "blackmail". He spoke about this to b92:
As far as vaccines and non-vaccines are concerned, it is the personal right of each of us whether we will be vaccinated or not. No one has the right to enter that intimacy, it is guaranteed by the constitution. Everyone has the right to decide on their health," he had said.
Djokovic's confirmed participation at the ATP Cup which precedes the Grand Slam has done its part in dispelling reports of him not competing at Melbourne Park. However, there has been no official confirmation from the Djokovic camp yet.
