*Djokovic saddened by media accusations
However, the Australian Open champion and world number three refuted the claims and revealed that he was forced to take medication after pulling out of his clash with the world number one in the Principality.

"I don't do that," he said. "I always give 100% and try to win. That's what sport is about.
"It's hurtful when people are talking like that. I'm very unhappy if that is my reputation. I'm a big fighter. "Maybe I could have gone another three-four games and finish the match, but I think everyone saw how tough I was breathing.
"I'm still on antibiotics. I don't feel 100%. I've requested a Wednesday start and I hopefully I'll recover and be ready."

*Sickly Serb Djokovic denies he's a quitter
"It would have been a cheat to the fans, to see someone out there just going through the motions," said the 20-year-old Australian Open champion, who retired trailing 6-3, 3-2.
"I always put my health first. I had tests after Monte Carlo and doctors say I still have the infection. I'm not at 100 percent - I need a week of rest for that."
"People expected a lot from that match, but I have still got a lot of them to play in my career."
"I'm a sportsman, a professional and I always try to give 100 percent. I'm not a quitter."
"I'm not trying to find excuses. It was hurtful to hear that I retire when I'm losing. I'm unhappy if I have that reputation, it's not something that I want."
The winner of the first Masters of the season at Indian Wells said that he tends to get sick after long flights due to his immune system.
"I'm more sensitive than the other guys. I guess I always get sick after time and climate changes."
The Serb said that despite his condition," I have been practising better that I thought. I'm feeling better than I thought I would be."

- 비난하는 글이야 테니스 관련 사이트 가면 어디서든 얼마든지 봤을테니 굳이 옮길 필욘 없을 것 같고, 암튼 걱정했던대로 여러모로 마음이 많이 쓰였던 모양. 첫 경기 아직도 좋아진게 아니라서 수요일 경기 따로 요청했다니까 이번 대회는 맘 편히 봐야할까봐.
