Despite leaving the central court of the ATP Shanghai 2025 with a smile, thanking the audience, the feelings of defeat are not at all positive for Novak Djokovic who had the opportunity to achieve great things at the Masters 1000 held in China.

Physically affected by persistent hip issues, among others like the right shoulder, or feeling the intense humidity, the reality is that Djokovic lost in straight sets to Valentin Vacherot, ranked 204 in the ATP ranking.

A few minutes after leaving the court at ATP Shanghai 2025, Novak briefly went to the press conference to address two questions from journalists. With decisive responses, the Serbian declined to discuss his physical condition, avoiding details about the issues that affected his performance.

- Novak Djokovic's words after losing to Vacherot at ATP Shanghai 2025

"I want to congratulate Valentin on reaching his first Masters 1000 final. Coming from the qualifying rounds, it's an incredible story. I told him at the net that he had an amazing tournament, but above all, his attitude is very good, and his game was also spectacular, so it's all about him. I wish him all the best in the final, and today the best player won."

Question: Can you talk about your physical condition?

"No. Next question, please," and that concluded Novak Djokovic's press conference following his defeat at ATP Shanghai 2025.

A week plagued with injuries for Novak Djokovic who, dealing with various discomforts, could offer little more in the semifinal match, all overshadowed by a potential retirement. This situation recurred several times throughout the tournament, yet the Serbian wanted to resist the trend at ATP Shanghai 2025.

His future now remains somewhat uncertain, although Nole likely wants to continue fighting for the points available in the European indoor tour. Before that, Djokovic has the commitment of the Six Kings Slam, an exhibition tournament taking place in Saudi Arabia from October 15 to 18. Although the level of competition is different, we will see if he shows up.
