During the match, serving at 5-1, Djokovic has handed a towel to a man present in the crowd, and he seemed to be unwell and wiped his forehead with it.

He added by saying that he is too not feeling very well in the court.
It has seen that the second-ranked Serb has set up the match point which is with an ace and he sealed the victory on the third match point when Sousa has returned a second serve long.
