Novak Djokovic: 'Denis Shapovalov has nothing to lose'

will watch some highlights of the matches against in order to learn something more about how to face the Serb on Saturday.

In press conference, Djokovic said he is not worried by it: Actually Im glad to hear that, that hes doing his homework and research. Its important for a young player, the 31-year-old explained.

Hes impressive not just as a talented tennis player but also how he goes about his professionalism, his commitments, how he deals with pressure, how confident he is on the court. Quite impressive. Ive been following him the last couple years because hes one of the NextGen stars, promising young players.

Yeah, hes very pumped. He brings a lot of energy to the court, which is great to see. I expect a really interesting encounter. He will not have anything really to lose, so Im sure hes going to come out really pumped.

On the other hand, in terms of his preparation, I guess he knows what hes doing. Nadal and him, yes, I mean, the only thing theyre sharing I think is the left hand. I dont think they share many similarities in their game.

I think its quite different. ALSO READ: Rafael Nadal: Worse players than David Ferrer won a Grand Slam title
