Hall of Fame
1. He’s won as a “who cares” player. His admitted nerves tell us he cares very much. I think he gets swallowed by the occasion.
2. He often uses animosity to feed on and get into opponents’ heads. Not only does Novak feed on this, he’s actually chummy with Novak now. They are instagram buddies even this week.
3. His biggest weapon - his serve - will be nuetralized by Novak’s biggest weapon - ROS, nobody does it better in the history of the game. Nick will have to rely on long rally tactics. Novak can eat that up all day.
4. He was born in the 1990s.
what do you see?
I predict that we'll see the weaknesses in Nick's game highlighted on Sunday.
He has a very weak baseline game compared to Djokovic.
His return is certainly not as good as Djokovic's.
Novak is clearly the best in the world at coming back in matches. Nick loses that battle.
He loses the fitness battle also.
I don't see any way for Nick to win.
