Journalist and tennis historian, Steve Flink was recently the guest of the Gill Gross podcast on Youtube. A discussion of about an hour during which the American specialist returned to the quarter-final between Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic in the quarter-finals of Roland-Garros.
“It was almost a reversal of behavior this time. Last year, Novak was really having fun on the court. There were times when he smiled and there was positive energy in him. Nadal was a little worried. This time I thought Djokovic seemed a bit negative, irritated by the crowd, while Rafa was great. I had a feeling that if we could have made it to the fifth set, maybe both players would have really taken it up a notch and we could have had a spectacular battle. But that didn’t happen as Djokovic failed to finish when he had the chance. »
