"It Was An Unbelievable Feeling!" Novak Djokovic & Alejandro Tabilo Post-Match Reaction | Rome 2024 

It’s evident Nole didn’t play his best tennis, but it is also evident that Tabilo played at a super high level and I applaud that. Deserved victory.

Tabilo decided to honour his Chilean counterpart Fernando Gonzalez via his monstrous forehands.

Not surprised when Tabilo came to Auckland and won it, noone saw him coming and blew a lot of good opponents away. Superb attitude on the court and humble. Radiates great energy, which is good these days. He will go far..

Good Job Tabilo, hopefully you keep winning and playing at this level. Chile is really proud of you 🇨🇱👏👏👏

Grande Tabilo!! 👏👏 sigue así que más triunfos vendrán 🇨🇱

What Novak describes as his feelings on the court is basically how I feel every time I play tennis.

I think Novak had some anxiety on court. I could tell. He was dizzy/anxious or something. When you have that you will serve quicker, he did that today as well.

BOSS!!! After a bad day at the office and he comes on to these press conferences and gives the kind of answers like he does here, I never worry. Look at that confidence, that belief in himself (to be able to talk so intricately about what he couldn’t do). As long as he knows what he does I do not worry. Truthfully, as a Nolefam I’m so grateful to him already. He proved himself years back. Just come out and play for us to see Champ. That’s enough, that alone is a privilege. GOAT!!!!

To be honest, at age 36+, it is not easy to stay in the highest level of tennis, up and down are expected. Anyway, we all know the big 3 era will end sooner or later, but as a Nole fans, I would still enjoy seeing him play at high level and winning matches! All the best Champ, good luck for RG, Olympics and Wimbledon🙏😊

congratulations to Tabilo... you are amazing

AS a novak fan from India , Plz get one slam and increase the count to 25 and target for 110 titles

Novak Djokovic ❤

Congratulations, Tabilo. From Chile for you.

Tabilo eres un gran campeón eres una persona muy humilde sigue a si llegarás muy lejos los chilenos nos sentimos orgulloso de ti viva chile 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱

Best wishes, No1e. ❤

Wena choro! Pulento triunfo Tabilove

Anyway his legacy is impeccable and forever. He will remain as the GOAT for eternity no matter who win after him. 🫶🏼

2:22 some annoyance and impatience with a pretty benign question that is not typical of the calm and easygoing way that Novak usually responds in interviews. Maybe he is indeed feeling "different" as well as concerned. I hope that he feels better soon and I wish him well for the French.

Con este triunfo Tabilo se suma a los menos de 10 jugadores q tienen récord positivo frente a Nole y en esa corta lista hay 2 chilenos , González y Tabilo.

All the best Novak for the upcoming tournaments. French Open is waiting for you Champ.

Tell Novak he has a concussion.

Just one more slam Novak. He doesn't have to prove anything at this point.

I hope he gets back soon. This sort of concussion happens in cricket when the ball hits the batters head at high speeds.

I love Novak Djokovic 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

You can obviously see with all the symptoms he has a bad concussion (I'm a medical doctor btw). It's not good, also look at the difference in the first and second round match. Headaces, nausea, no balance coördination bad sleep it's all in there! I think he also needs a good coach fast

He describes the symptoms of a mild concussion. He should have received a thorough medical exam immediately to confirm that or rule it out. Also, such an abrupt freak accident can affect one’s mindset for a while. No surprise that he lost.

Congrats Jano, well done

GOAT Excuses. Give credit to Tabilo for throwing him off his game not the bottle.

Canada is also proud of you Alejandro

Get well soon Novak ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️☹️🇬🇧

You did an incredible job! Best of luck!

People in the comments literally need proper medical education! He had a concussion! Loss of balance, concentrations, nausea and headaches are the symptoms of a concussion. The symptoms can last anywhere between 2-4 weeks!

It's not a problem that Novak lost, it's a problem how he lost

Perfect English and accent explains his north American accent. Wonder if Alejandro has dual or triple citizenship. Hope he stays healthy.

Love you Nole!

Wishing Nole and Rafa best of recovery.

We're the best country of Chile, Bro!!!

Well played Tabilo, make it happen

It's mental problems with Novak this season not "metal" problems.

It is clear now why Djokovic was not interested to play this match. He wanted to check his head, was not interested in competing at this tournament. Completely logical, when you have bleeding from hit to the head 2 days ago. It is not normal to be interested in tennis tournament anymore. Rest and check is what he should do before RG.

Even the best can have a bad day 🙁

God win and great play Tabilo

I miss you my friend.

Vamos Alejandro Tabilovich Fokina =)

is this such a surprise? like Djokovic won anything recently, did he not lost to Luca Nardi in Indian Wells?

Jet we have the one era. Đoković!!!

He didn't congratulate Tabilo for playing better than him?

Get well soon

Ríos! 🫶🏽

he's not off, Tabilo was better than him lol.

Why is he sniffing all the time. If he wasn't well enough to play,why didn't his medical team check him out fully?

Novak definitely needs to get fully checked out asap. Having a metal bottle full of water fall on you like that is basically like having a brick dropped on your head. Hope he's alright.

Bien ganado Alejandro,a seguir subiendo en el ranki ng.

When Rafa looses, they clap their hands! When Novak loose this way they are booing!!! Any quedtions???

I read that you got injured and I'm sad about it.

#ChileConfínDelMundoTricontinental

No respect for the fans in Rome from Novak. He wasn't feeling well, so he shouldn't have gone on the court. Training before RG? Congratulations to Tabilo.

So practice was fine but the water bottle injury only factors when he looses the match ? Why not withdraw if the injury was that severe

Today I saw Tabilo playing excellent, they deserved the victory but we must not leave aside that today Novak was strange, he did not play his tennis, his face and concentration were not the same.

Come on Bert Critchley. He's not feeling it lately. Something needs to be changed or reevalutated.

Damn those comments one less informed and reality based than the next one. (with exceptions) First of all, when Roger retired the big 3 era ended. Second of all, it is really foolish to write a sportsman of the caliber of Novak, Rafa, Roger as well as many others off at any point. They are animals with decades of experience or clearer self-knowledge. Thirdly, yes it is indeed unlikely that the bottle incident has been the major reason for the rather poor performance by his standards, however, we can't know for sure. But if we look at it from a bit more distance, it seems that Novak has some mental issues since it is clear that he is the most successful player of all time and nobody is probably born yet, who could even dream of breaking his grand slam record. But it wouldn't be the first time he reinvents himself! The GOAT discussion is, was and will always be rubbish. Why? Because Greatness doesn't has just to do with numbers. Yeah Novak is a great guy and deserves respect as all the others! And so on and so forth...

Tabilo outplayed him that's what happened. Nothing more, nothing less

que de gracias que tabilo jugo a un 40 porciento

Novak was clearly sluggish and uncoordinated right from the start, probably an after-effect of the head bump. That would slow anyone down. Those saying it's a sign that "he's washed up" are just idiots. Tabilo's joy is misplaced. Would he be just as ecstatic if Novak had played with a broken leg?

El batataso del año brother😂😂😂

Commotion cérébrale Triste.

Concussed

после этого матча и этого интервью меня интересует что думает и чувствует тот чувак,который уронил на голову Джоковича бутылку??

Some people by tryna rip on Nole but the guy is generally a class act. I don't give half a shit about racket smashing who cares. Not the BEST behavior but really who cares when you see how genuine he is when he loses.

People literally writing this guy off for not giving his best at a few masters tournaments is laughable, it's a lack of motivation, it's obvious he only plays at this stage in his career for the slams

NOVAK 👑

Well done Tabilo

did they check that bottle?

Would somebody please hand Novak a tissue?

Increíble que los periodistas le preguntan 3 veces lo mismo, solo para crear una noticia conflictiva

6:00 is that Ubaldo Scagnata ???? long time didn't hear his voice

La vérité e che novak no ha pour voglia di. giocare 😊😊😂😂😂😮😮

very funny to read the comments some so bias and ridiculous it is just a game 😂

I noticed 2 new persons in Novak's team and I do not think it is smart to exchange important team members as he has had so much success with Ivanisevic etc. I think he will easily loose easy in Rolland Garros, I dont think he understands what his problem is but I could clearly notice that he is not fast enough and Tabilo is not bad on clay. Novak had obvious problems in his matches this year and he has breathing problems and loose rather easily in 2 sets to Ruud, and you could also notice it is tis match that he was slooow, and serves badly. He had some diarea just a few weeks ago someone said. He has problems with his diet is something I have heard as well. Who knows really?!

this might be the worst ive ever seen him play. he was aweful

His biggest mistake before he got his head hit by the bottle, he played so bad in Indian Wells and skipped a couple of ATP Masters. As a result, he no longer has any point to cover the points of Roland Garros champion last year. Not only that, Djokovic's loss make people less interested of posting Djokovic's every week at no. 1 on facebook. Moreover i've already calculated that he has 428 weeks at no. 1. Anyway, is there any player from both ATP and WTA to break his record up to 500 weeks? I'm waiting for the next 10-20 years later

Buen triunfo de Tabilo pero Nole no debió jugar

NOLE TVOJA VELECINA KARAKTERA DUSE SRCA DOBROTE JE NEDOSTIZNA I TO NA OVOM SVIJETU NITKO NE POSJEDUJE ZNACI TI BOG I PUTIN NAJACI ❤️❤️❤️🤴🤴🤴🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺💋💋💋👐🏻👐🏻👐🏻BUDI JAK KAVO I DO SAD TOSI TI NOVACE 🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸❤️❤️❤️💋💋💋👐🏻👐🏻👐🏻

The bad behavior from the Italians to a legend forced him to quit from the tournament......

it 's good thing for Novak stay preparin RG . No Stop trainin beguin RG

Novak has proved he is the best ever. ❤

Novak has to see doctor a rectal doctor for his serious problem of being butt hurt. Should be ashamed for making stuff up. Terrible person.

9:11 Alejandro Tabilo, my HERO!!! 👍from 🇨🇦 Fedal Forever Fan

I don't know how Novak thinks he can preform at his best when hes barely playing. Hes not Federer whos game was so aggressive.. Novak is a wall? and that type of player needs matches!

People don't realize at 37, you CAN'T have years where you don't perform. Because once you come down you aren't going back to the level you were at before. Seems as if Djokovic is on pace to have the same type of season Federer did in 2019. That's probably where he is, and his run could very well be over. Too many young guns coming up with game.

Tabisexotoday played an amazing performance on the pitch… from the end of the fkn world🇨🇱🫦🇨🇱🌶🎾🎾👾

Novak he is not ready for clay courts this year, nor is his game style is clay favorable, still playing with small racket no spin, so in a bad day with a clay court player, it is possible to have these outcomes

The bottle excuse was ready the second he went down is an Oscar worthy, soccer style performance when the bottle grazed his head 😂. I mean, that peice of acting was even better than his tennis! What a 🤡. Just cannot accept that losing to unknowns is the new reality. The GOAT of excuses!

Aguanta Djokovic

Djokovic has done a lot of winning just by looking at the butt hurt comments loooool…… this guy will not win the tournament!!! But nice win…..

Djokovic looked really nervous during this press conference constantly touching his face and his cap or moving on his chair. Awkward to see probably the best tennis player who ever lived getting almost completely lost for words… at the image of his game where he was like a ghost without any solutions. After Nadal, it’s Djokovic time to struggle on the court

The bottle didn’t cause it. It’s mental for him.

🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱💪

Excuses, Bottom line...he's not playing Enough. the talent is catching up to him. And if he doesn't play more he'll take more L's. He won't last in the french open.

Sinner Alcatraz Nole...Rome 👎 they're training for roland garros.. 🤟❤🌟
