Djokovic acknowledged that he takes longer to regulate to clay than to different surfaces. The 35-year-old defined that there are a number of features concerned. “It’s the movement. Every bounce more or less is different. It’s such an irregular bounce surface. You have wind. You have clay, a surface that is alive basically. Let’s call it this way. Like grass in a way,” Djokovic mentioned.

“On clay, if you have a windy day, the wind takes out the top layer of the surface, and it affects the bounce, it affects the spin of the ball, the speed of the court. Of course, if it rains or something like this, the conditions are different every single day, then it affects whether the clay is softer or harder,” mentioned the Serbian star,

I wish him all the best except tomorrow night,” Djokovic mentioned.
