2011 saw the birth of Djokovic 2.0. This was a guy who, unlike his predecessor, didn't shy away from long battles, nor give in after wasting chances. He always left something in the tank for the decider.
Last year though, during the Wimbledon final, I noticed something. It's almost as if he wanted the match to go into a fifth set.
This year, Nole is becoming notorious at giving bagels and breadsticks in deciding sets. Why have these matches gone to 5 at all?
Is it because he thinks his superior fitness increases his chances to win that way?
Is it Nole's way of reseting his brain?
Is it because he needs the thrill of being on the edge (although bagels and breadsticks are not really close sets)?
Is he just doing it to feed his ego?
Is he trying to build some sort of artificial legacy with this?
I'm really curious what people think of this.
I will try to put together a list of suspicious matches.
