Adrian Mannarino a réussi à faire preuve d'humour malgré sa déroute dans les deux premiers sets (6-0, 6-0) face à Novak Djokovic en huitième de finale de l'Open d'Australie.

"If I had taken three 6-0s, it wouldn't have affected me", confided the Frenchman at the end of his match against the Serbian. Tired after three five-set matches this week, Mannarino paid for his many efforts.

Two bubbles with hands

For his first moments on the Rod Laver Arena, the Francillian was unable to compete. Which didn't stop him from taking things lightly. After losing the second set, Adrian Mannarino, sitting on his bench, made two zeros with his hands, before bursting out laughing.

Two zeros in reference to the two bubbles inflicted by Novak Djokovic, too high last night. Next step for the newcomer to the world top 20, the Davis Cup with a confrontation against Chinese Tapei.
