このコンテンツについて
Novak Djokovic faced a turbulent but headline-grabbing few days at the Rolex Shanghai Masters, where physical endurance and public poise defined his narrative. After defeating Marin Cilic in his opening match without obvious trouble, Djokovic’s run soon became a test of pure survival. In the third round, as reported by ATP Tour and Sports Illustrated, he endured brutal heat and humidity against Yannick Hanfmann, vomiting courtside—an ordeal that did not stop him from prevailing in two hours and forty-two minutes. Fans and reporters lauded his sportsmanship, especially when he insisted on cleaning up after himself so ball kids would not have to, an act highlighted by Sports Illustrated.
His next challenge against Jaume Munar saw him collapse and require multiple medical timeouts for his leg, draping himself in ice towels during changeovers and vomiting again. According to ATP Tour and EssentiallySports, doctors instructed Djokovic to skip his press duties and prioritize rest for his upcoming matches—a rare move for the fiercely competitive Serb. Still, he broke his silence through social media, telling fans, Tough day at the office. Very challenging physically. Luckily, I have the greatest support in the world, and echoing his gratitude in Mandarin, I love Shanghai, a gesture widely picked up and appreciated across social platforms.
Despite myriad ailments, the 38-year-old surged into the quarterfinals, becoming the oldest ATP Masters 1000 quarterfinalist in history, surpassing Roger Federer's Shanghai mark, as reported by EssentiallySports. The narrative turned even more dramatic in the semifinal, where World No. 204 Valentin Vacherot, a qualifier and former Texas A&M standout, upset Djokovic in straight sets, becoming the lowest-ranked ATP Masters 1000 finalist ever—a result splashed across ATP Tour and major sports outlets. Djokovic, battling both a leg issue and exhaustion, still found the strength to warmly congratulate Vacherot at the net, telling him, You deserve it, as shared on social media and Threads.
Djokovic refused to speak publicly about his injuries after the match, keeping the focus on Vacherot and demonstrating signature humility in defeat, according to ATP Tour. On court and off, Chinese crowds showed immense support, which Djokovic acknowledged with smiles, heart hands, and more appreciative messages online. While rumors have swirled about these being his final seasons, no confirmed statements on retirement emerged this week. For now, the headlines are clear: Novak Djokovic battled agony and age, remaining the epitome of grace under pressure—an enduring lesson in perseverance as one of tennis’s greatest stories continues.
