Speaking after his quarter-final win over Marton Fucsovics, Djokovic was asked how it felt to be seen as the “bad guy” in chasing Nadal and Federer.

Djokovic took acception to that remark though, insisting he is only concentrating on his “own history”.

“I don’t consider myself a bad guy. I mean, that’s your opinion,” he said.

“I’m not chasing anybody. I’m making my own path and my own journey, my own history.
