Maybe I will do I it, maybe I won’t. I am not really interested at this point what people are thinking and saying. It is fun, it is interesting to see how the narrative surrounding me continues, narrative that is different compared to other players that have been going through similar situation,” Djokovic said. “But I am used to it, and it just gives me extra strength and motivation. So I thank them for that.”
