This is just my opinion, but last nights match confirmed my belief, even Djoke acknowledged my opinion.
Djoke is like a steroided out anatomy chart, just a machine. But he's programmed to stay behind the baseline and make those incredible shots, and once he's in a groove, that is his mind, his position, he is near unbeatable.
But mix it up, take him out of his Rythmn, and he doesn't just lose points, he FALLS APARTS. First set last night, against Fed in London and Cincy, give him short shots, get him grimicing, shrugging his shoulders, do drop shots (Like Tomic), and he falls apart-bad.
When he's with say Nadal, Nadal plays Djokers game, so it's who can focus best, best shape, and other small intagibles, but do short shots, take him at the net, get him moving and frustrated, and he loses BAD, I mean 6-1 Wawrinka? That was NOT Djoke playing bad, just an aggresive player taking Djoker out of his element.
Don't misunderstand, I may not be a fan personally, but Djoke is AWESOME, those shots are off the chart.
If you notice, when Wawrinka stayed back, and the rallies went long, Djoke would get into his rythmn, but when Wawa would mix it up, Djoke fell apart.
Anyways, just my opinion, INCREDIBLE MATCH. I was going to sleep, thought "Well I'll just watch a few minutes, never know, then at what 6am with the sun coming up I'm still watching this thing. Felt bad for Wawa, he cried afterwords, but heh great exposure for him, and a confidence builder.
