  • Jovic said the match is not affecting their friendship and expressed hope they meet in later rounds rather than early in events.
  • Broadcasters and match stats highlighted Jovic’s higher winner count and effective grass adaptation, with analysts saying the scoreline understated the match’s difficulty.
