Tennis Principles do not apply to Novak Djokovic

Tennis Principles do not apply to Novak Djokovic

During the last match, Murray soldiered on the match and was ahead of Novak a great deal. Novak didn’t seem to be bothered by Murray leading the first round because he knew where he would deploy his non explainable tactics. Murray thought he would take the cup as he was certain he would beat Novak out of his own game like he did in Rome. But Murray lost it all during the first service in the second set. He made a few errors which resulted to his defeat. From that point, his service became very poor. But Novak knew how and where to apply his tactic in his game. He consecutively slammed Murray to the fourth set. Although the atmosphere of defeat had already been instilled in Murray, he still tried fighting back.

Novak has a close tendency to let his opponents take the first matches and later shows that he was just trying to comprehend their game. He leads by playing softly and tightly until the mood is instilled in the court. He then starts his sprints and start slamming his opponents leaving them ajar. This makes him the protagonist in every game. Novak plays his game pulling the opponent to the baseline of one side and then abruptly re directs the ball to the other side. The opponent gives up knowing that he can’t reach the ball.

In the history of the tennis as a game, no one has ever enchanted four slams as Novak did. This makes him the best man there is in the game positioning him high in the rank. Serena Williams tried to fulfill her pursuit to proof that she could be on the same boat as Djokovic but she was unable because the rules Novak used or rather uses simply couldn’t and can’t be applied by anyone else. Serena was once the world tennis record breaker but it seems that the title shifted to someone else. It is thus predictable that Djokovic will win any game. He may win the full Grand Slam or come out with a gold medal in Rio. Though there isn’t any logistic in that, it has already been proven that principles of tennis don’t apply to Novak Djokovic.
