Djokovic affected by allergies
Novak Djokovic, the top seed at the Serbia Open (which his family owns) said he’s been badly affected by allergies, which have hampered his play this spring.
“I’ve been going through a difficult period over the past couple of months. It’s springtime and I have a strong allergic reaction to pollen. It’s never been this bad and no medications are helping it. A quarterfinal and a semifinal at [Monte Carlo and Rome] are quite good achievements, but in the past I’ve been known to win these events. I probably could have done better this year. But I have fierce competition who also wants to be on top.”—M.C.
