If there is someone who fully knows Novak Djokovic is your coach Goran Ivanisevicwho assured that He was bothered by the way in which the Serbian tennis player fell against the current Roland Garros champion, Rafa Nadal, in the quarterfinal round.
The Croatian stated that the game could have been tilted in favor of his pupil, however, he lacked that ambition and spark that Nadal had left over not only in the game, but throughout the championship.
“We haven’t talked in depth about the game yet, that’s why I’m so worried. I still don’t understand his lack of energy and the body language he had, as well as its ups and downs,” he said in an interview for TennisMajors.
In the same way, he added that neither of them was at their highest level, but that it cost Novak the start of the game and, although he recovered at times, he did not have those geniuses that he has had in other clashes.
“I think none of the players played their best tennis, I don’t think Rafa’s performance was spectacular, but the attitude on the court and the body language was what made the difference. I warned Novak that the start of the match was going to be decisive, I told him many timesbut despite this, it started again badly ”.

Novak’s short shots
Likewise, Ivanisevic was honest and admitted that the Serbian did not have a good time after the disaster, although he stressed that he has things to work on, such as some shots that lacked power.
“I haven’t analyzed the match with him because I was tired and disappointed. He feels really bad and I’m sad for him because we both know he could have won. What is clear is that his backhand did not have the necessary depth, he left very short shots that allowed Rafa to attack. As soon as he improved with that blow, in the second set, it was seen what happens. What Rafa did was take advantage of the advantages that Djokovic gave him with his game”.
Next Wimbledon winner
Finally, Nole’s coach assured that the tennis player will end up winning the Wimbledon tournament and it has guaranteed it a few weeks before one of the top tennis world championships begins.
“Novak Djokovic is going to win the tournament. I have a good feeling about that. He has overcome difficult defeats and I am convinced that he will reach the best level in London. He needs to rest well and prepare mentally and physically, he is the biggest favorite for the title”, he stated.
