Djokovic has been the “hottest” winning male tennis player in many years—the last match he lost besides the one in the French Open I think dated to last year! That’s the type of performance you normally associate with Roger Federer about a half decade ago or Pete Sampras during his peak years.

Djokovic also snuck up to the net at times and had some easy putaways as a result. It’s strange to watch Wimbledon and see matches where no one goes to the net like a number of matches I saw. While Djokovic can hardly be called an attacking player, he showed what going to the net from time to time can do your opponent. Just the thought that your opponent might be at the net can rattle players. Nadal has basically a monotonous game of big topspin shots and little else. He’s fast and tough to beat on a slow surface, but he’ll have problems with players like Djokovic who are as fast and have more variety to their game and accuracy to their shots.
