Dokovic's Overheads

Ombellebeble, no??

 

[OhYes]

He can afford them ...

Because of him, I'm now having OH-phobia.

I said to myself : He who opens a thread about Djokovic missed overhead today is most jealous of Novak's success on TTW. Congratulations, you beat many.

This is like in Godfather "He, who offers you a meeting with Barzini is a traitor".

 

[Luka888]

I love them. It makes me laugh so hard. He hasn't done it for a while but today we were honored by one fantastic smash by Nole .

His technique isn’t the best but the problem is, in large part, mental. There are some overheads where Djokovic barely even moves his feet.

That said, a few bad patches aside, the overhead problems are overblown. The stats that I’ve seen in charted matches on TA indicate that his overhead is a little below average, and frankly the difference between a below average and average overhead is maybe 4-5 points a year.

The difference between Djokovic’s and Federer’s overhead is around 20 or so points a year, based on the data.

An edge, to be sure, but not something one can hang their hat on in hopes of beating Djokovic. He’ll still win most of his points overhead.

Yeah he’s paying a lot of hush money to a number of people.

disagree. he misses his overheads in practice a lot. that tells me it sin't mental

Again though, some smashes he doesn’t even move his feet. I’m sure he knows he’s SUPPOSED to.

I don’t think it’s entirely mental or entirely technical.

i have the exact same problem. I don’t always move my feet into the right position, even though I know that I should.
