PARIS: Novak Djokovic said he will not let the ball incident that caused his US Open disqualification affect the way he manages his emotions on court as he makes his Grand Slam return at Roland Garros.
"Of course, it was a shock for me and a lot of people. But that's life, that's sport. These things can happen," Djokovic, who is chasing an 18th Grand Slam singles title at the French Open, told a news conference on Saturday. "I mean, I won the tournament in Rome just a week later after what happened in New York. I did not feel any kind of emotional disturbance or difficulty to actually be able to play or still express my emotions in whatever way."However, the world number one said he would not soon forget what happened in New York and that will affect his behaviour.
"Tht's something that is obviously staying in my mind after what happened in New York. It's going to stay there for a long time. Of course, I will make sure I don't make the same mistake twice."
