It's the heat bothering Djokovic?

Djokovic went full ballbasher mode in the last game and imploded.

His right hand's shaking/tremoring noticeably on changeover.
We saw this last year, what the hell is causing that?

Thank God. This is slightly different than last year. Would be a joke otherwise..
Now serve it out.

His forehands down the line and defensive forehands were often amazing, but no consistency.

Nice. If Nole beats ADM then Raz is no more in the semis.
Now might be time to get serious. He can win this masters. But hope sinner is taken out before

A good win for Djokovic. ADM will be tough next though. He’s in form and will make Djokovic earn every point with his great movement and defence.

I am afraid that Sinner is a bridge too far considering his current form.. I would be happy if Novak gets a really good workout in MC and gets sharp for Rome and RG..

When it comes to avenging losses, Djokovic is #1. I‘m feeling confident that Djokovic will win Monte Carlo for the third time and achieve the triple career masters.

@Hitman what is your opinion on the trembling/shaking hands?
Do you get that when you lift super heavy?
After a grueling match with lots of hard shots, my hands will feel weak, similar to how they feel when I wake up. But the violent shaking during the match is concerning. Read that it can be a result of caffeine/stimulants, but it only seems to affect his playing hand. Makes me think it's just shock from so much hard hitting against Muchete

I will be happy as long as he convincingly beats Sinner once so all people on the "Djoker is avoiding Sinner" bandwagon will shut up!

Damn . Where is Djoker finding this high level form so quickly at 37 especially on clay? He looked like crap run over twice earlier this year

Looks like this has been a thing for a while w/him. Found a Reddit discussion from 9 years ago

That wasn't a great performance from Djo, more of a poor performance for Musetti on an average looking Djo. Mentally stronger during the tougher moments.

We are likely in the Sinner Djokovic zone now.
Both need to win 2 more matches and its not a guarantee but looks far closer with today's events.

Its a potent cocktail of electrolyte imbalance, excess stimulants, adrenaline, stress, and over exertion even if it is for a very short time. Can happen in many ways.

I’m not sure if Djokovic is holding back, but the groundstrokes aren’t looking that good and the serve isn’t what it was last year. The movement has been mediocre by his standards, maybe even a little bit below, but he is still winning.

Musettis forehand can be a weapon for sure, but it's a somewhat shaky shot at the same time. He frames and misses easy shots too often. I'm thinking Khachanov when I see Musettis forehand. Quite similar with an extreme grip and almost straight arm at the same time, but Khachanovs' fh appears as more reliable...

He was moving like God in Turin just a few months back. I think it is more about his mindset right now, he has very specific goals atm. This other stuff isn't really doing it for him in the same way.

True. I agree he still has the form and fitness at the moment. It was more just a general statement that father times catches us all just at different points.
