There is something off about Novak Djokovic. Yes, he is pushing the whole idea of family life and other things taking the front seat but he is increasingly giving many doubts about his recent work ethics.
It is amazing how the same star that enjoyed a brilliant run and ended up lifting the French Open last year is now somewhat a shadow of himself.
His recent meeting with David Goffin at the quarter final stage of the Monte Carlo Masters raises even more questions. Djokovic was doing many things wrong when they clashed. His trademark calmness was on holiday, and when it mattered as they both fought to win the third set, he was hit with time violation and he made a forehand error. Goffin eventually prevailed 6-2, 3-6, 7-5. Many might not appreciate Goffin’s terrific tennis as they would acknowledge something off with Djokovic. Read more »

Accepting the wild card offered on Friday by the organizers, the tennis star arrived the Mexican city on Sunday and has no more than 48 hours to get acquainted to the new time zone and very hot climate of the city.
Monday saw Djokovic practice on the Central Court at 14:00 in the South American city when the temperature was at about 36C. Speaking at a press conference after his training, he noted that it was a quite difficult training session for him.
“It was a difficult training session for me. Hopefully playing at night will be more pleasant, because it’s very difficult to play when it’s hot. I will have to get used to a place where I have never been to.” Read more »

The win was not predictable from the beginning. The grounds had been gray, cold and muted from the beginning of the tournament. Federer opted out of the tournament as he suffered an injury. The withdrawal of Nadal was also a sudden change in the tournament, which might also be seen that it led the way for Murray and Novak to meet in the finals.
The tournament itself had an uncertain beginning. The weather being cold and gray did not help to attract people to the stands during the games. As Roger Federer opted out for an injury, there was one less glamorous name associated with the tournament this time. The other disappointment was Nadal has to pull out of the tournament for a wrist injury he sustained. As Nadal had emerged in top form in the recent matches, many were looking forward to a possible clash between Nadal and Novak. The rains also ruined the schedule of the games which delayed and postponed most of the matches. Read more »
