They pull off medical miracles when he takes his “breaks” to the bathroom or other medical breaks..
I watch for those opportunities when he is getting killed so I can bet on him with good odds. Then he comes back and wins.
Sometimes I wonder if he is just psyching the other player out only to come back and mentally destroy him.
I think there is a certain element of psychology involved. He’s got the best of the best trainers, etc. & I think he’s also able to go really ‘deep’ when the chips are down.
My nephew played college tennis, has been in a lot of tournaments, etc ... just retired as a teaching pro. I have seen him do some amazing things, including playing with injuries or getting injured in a match & going on. Some of the best years of my life were watching him play and I have a small idea of what it takes to be a champ, but Djoko is at a whole ‘nother level from most tennis players.
