Novak Djokovic is striking again with his breathing issue. The Serb won his match against Julien Benneteau but it was not without drama.
Afterwards, during the post-match conference the world no. 3 said the heat was bothering him a lot in the match. He had the trainer come out to assess his conditions during the second set.
"It was obvious that on the court I wasn't feeling the best, but I [overcame] it," he said. "Nothing unusual, just little heat issues that I have. I will never ever risk my health just to win. Today I was really on the edge."
As you may remember Djokovic suffered the same heat problem down under last year when he retired to Andy Roddick as defending champ.
