Australian Open > Novak Djokovic on the Channel 9 affair: “I can't remember the last time a Grand Slam tournament went off without some form of drama, to be honest”

At a press conference, Nole of course returned to the impact that the affair linked to Channel 9 could have had. In fact, this is not the first time that during a Grand Slam tournament, a certain dramaturgy takes hold during the fortnight.

« I think I've experienced this a few times in my career. Experience helps you understand how to deal with adversity and how to draw, I think, the strength and the energy necessary to win a Tennis match, to win a tournament. Yeah, I mean, I can't remember the last time a Grand Slam tournament went off without some form of drama, to be honest. I guess that's part of the game. We are here competing and we are giving our best to win a Grand Slam title. Lots of things happen along the way. It's not serious. I'm just happy with the way I was able to play throughout the tournament, including tonight, against one of the best players, one of the two or three best players in the world over the last three or four years. It's a great victory. I am very proud of it”
