Novak Djokovic visibly spoke with consternation at the end of the match after the retirement due to injury of Lorenzo Musetti. "That's sports, these things happen, but it's very unfortunate. He deserved to win, he was better than me, and I only hope he recovers as soon as possible. I was not comfortable throughout the match, didn't play at a good level, and the blister on my right finger bothered me, but that's not an excuse for my performance. I'll have to train hard and improve a lot," said the Serbian, a semifinalist at the 2026 Australian Open.
