Naomi Osaka’s coach Patrick Mouratoglou has accused Novak Djokovic<\/a> of lacking motivation during his Madrid Open campaign.<\/p>\n

The veteran Serb was beaten in straight sets by Matteo Arnaldi in the opening round.<\/p>\n

“I was very surprised to see Novak play like that in Monte Carlo and then again in Madrid,” said Mouratoglou.<\/p>\n

“For a guy like him, if he doesn\u2019t feel like playing, if he doesn\u2019t have the motivation, I don\u2019t think he should play because he didn\u2019t even look like he was trying to win.<\/p>\n

“I am not saying he is not able to play better, he is for sure able to play much better, but I felt like he was not prepared physically.<\/p>\n

“I mean, tennis-wise, physically, for those tournaments because he doesn\u2019t have the motivation, and no judgment there.<\/p>\n

“But the question is, why did he play then? I don\u2019t understand.<\/p>\n

“Motivation is a big thing for him, it\u2019s all about it, and I\u2019ve been saying that now for quite a long time.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Naomi Osaka’s coach Patrick Mouratoglou has accused Novak Djokovic of lacking motivation during his Madrid Open campaign.
