  • Terlalu lama bertanding secara tertutup, Novak Djokovic merinding tampil di depan penggemar dalam laga ekshibisi di Adelaide.
  • ATP Cup dan Australia Open 2021 juga diwacanakan berlangsung dengan penonton hingga akhir kompetisi.
  • Novak Djokovic memuji penanganan pandemi di Australia yang sangat baik.

SKOR.id - Novak Djokovic mengaku bulu kuduknya berdiri ketika pertama kali menyaksikan kehadiran kembali penonton di venue pertandingan.

Pandemi Covid-19 membuat turnamen tenis harus berlangsung tertutup, maupun dengan penonton sangat terbatas, demi mencegah penularan virus yang lebih parah.

Novak Djokovic sebelumnya pernah "memprakarsai" berjalannya sebuah turnamen ekshibisi dengan penonton, Adria Tour, pada pertengahan 2020.

Turnamen itu tak berjalan dengan baik karena harus dihentikan di tengah jalan karena sejumlah petenis, termasuk Djokovic, terinfeksi Covid-19.

Setelah itu, tak ada lagi pertandingan tenis yang menghadirkan banyak penonton sampai akhirnya turnamen ekshibisi digelar di Adelaide pada akhir pekan lalu.

"Saya merinding ketika memasuki lapangan untuk bertanding di depan para penggemar lagi setelah 12 bulan tidak mengalami hal itu," kata Djokovic dilansir dari Tennis365.

"Setelah 15 tahun terjun ke tenis profesional, ini adalah salah satu pertandingan yang memberi tekanan atau motivasi untuk saya, yakni bermain di depan penonton."

Bagi Djokovic, penonton adalah sumber energinya selama bertanding. Sehingga keberadaan para penggemar akhir pekan lalu memberi motivasi dan dorongan besar baginya.

Pemilik 17 gelar grand slam itu memuji Australia yang andal dalam menangani pandemi Covid-19 sehingga berani mengambil keputusan mengadakan turnamen dengan penonton.

Tidak hanya itu, ATP Cup yang telah dimulai sejak Senin (1/2/2021) dan Australia Open 2021 pada 8-21 Februari di Melbourne Park juga akan dihadiri penggemar di lapangan.

"Negara ini melakukan pekerjaan yang luar biasa dalam mengatasi virus (corona)."

"Saya beruntung memiliki peluang untuk berlatih, bermain, dan berkompetisi di olahraga yang kita cintai ini," Djokovic menambahkan.

"Saya jadi merasa bahwa Australia seperti rumah bagi saya. Terutama Melbourne dan Rod Laver Arena (venue Australia Open)," ujar petenis Serbia itu.

"Tak heran kalau sejauh ini, Australia Open menjadi turnamen (grand slam) yang paling sering saya menangi dalam karier."

"Tiap tahun, kala saya kembali ke lapangan ini, rasanya selalu lebih baik. Lebih banyak kemenangan yang terjadi maka lebih percaya diri lagi ketika kembali ke sini," katanya.

Sementara itu, Novak Djokovic baru saja berhasil menuntaskan pertandingan pertamanya di ATP Cup dengan kemenangan.

Ia mengalahkan Denis Shapovalov (Kanada) dengan skor 7-5, 7-5 dalam yang digelar di Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne, Australia pada Selasa (2/2/2021).
