French Open | Novak Djokovic enters Quarter-finals, complains about slippery court

Novak Djokovic settled affairs in the fourth round of French Open against Fernando Verdasco quite clinically and advanced into the Quarter-finals of the highly coveted tournament. He later took a dig at French Open organizers for not watering the courts on Sunday. Verdasco gave the Serb moments early on but it was the slippery Court Phillipe Chatrier clay that raised Djokovic`s concerns. The 12 time Grand Slam champion appeared to lose his footing a few times during his 6-3 6-4 6-2 fourth-round win and he made his feelings known to the chair umpire.

"It was a very warm day, and after the first set they decided not to water the court, which I thought it was not the right decision," Djokovic told reporters as quoted by TOI.

"I just questioned the decision from the chair umpire, actually, that he's listening to the grounds people.

"What I don't like is that there is no participation of the players. So they don`t ask players whether -- you know, we are the ones who are playing and sliding and not sliding, so we can give them the most important feedback. It doesn't seem like they care too much about our opinion, and that's something I don`t like."
