The world number two explains why he changed his shoes in the third set.
"I was slipping, I was falling, I was, you know, I wasn't really finding the balance in the third but I don't know whether it was the shoes or socks or whatever - it was very warm so I was sweating a lot so I wanted to change it. I had just the better grip, I had better movement and maybe it was just mental but anyway, it worked."
On Friday, Djokovic will face Dimitrov.
