On the court, Djokovic apologized to the fans for not being able to continue: “Sorry you didn’t get to see the second set. It was one of the longest sets I’ve ever played. Congratulations to Fritz, he played brilliantly.”

Despite losing the match, Djokovic officially secured his place in the 2025 ATP Finals in Turin – the prestigious tournament for the eight best players of the year – marking his 18th appearance in his career, equaling Roger Federer's record.
