Rolex Paris Masters: “Novak is evolving at a whole new level,” slips Dimitrov

Swept by Novak Djokovic, Grigor Dimitrov finished his first final at Bercy in tears: “It’s difficult to explain my emotions,” he said at a press conference. I'm not ashamed of those tears, it just happened. I'm sad of course to have lost. I was so close to achieving something I had wanted to achieve for so long. Now I will have time to think and turn the page. It was a fantastic week. I didn't think I would make it to the final, but I am delighted with the way I played with an increase in power in the last two weeks. Faced with the master of the place, he did not hide his helplessness: “Even if he was not in his best form, he was able to take me out of my comfort zone, he released his best strikes . Facing Djokovic in the final is one of the biggest challenges you can have because he is a great competitor. I've said it before, he's on a whole new level. In all these matches, he is able to make the most of his game, even if he himself is not in top form. He executed a lot of points, plays in a fantastic way. »
