Reason behind Djokovic's struggles in past!

[dimeaxe]

From early 2009 continuing in 2010, he was "secretly" dating this woman.She's famous Serbian pop/folk singer.I do not know if it was already discussed, but it was present in Serbian media in that time.This woman is seven years older than him and she's just typical "gold digger", nothing more than that,but it was enough to distract him during that time.After he won Wimby last year, she tried to seduce him again, sending SMS messages.I just wanted to bring some new things, I hope, it's new;-).

Go get it girl.

That pic of him sitting with her on top of him is weird, is it a photoshop?

 

[GoodVibrations]

No, they're real, I guess:

I appreciate your curiosity, currently not, as I know.I'm not that kind of a guy, I' don't follow this kind of stuff, but this story was even published in a magazine , that's why I know for this.I think it lasted like year and a half or two years,from time to time it was reported that they are seeing each other.But For last two years he's with Jelena.

 

[dimeaxe]

He's completely focused on the game, I guess that's why he had two great years.There's only one problem now, and it's Srdjan.They have some kind of a weird relationship.

Now his sudden increase in stamina and endurance is being excused away because he can't keep his pants on? *********s sure are hilarious. :lol:

Btw, that chick has a total manface, and has a chin you could crack rocks on.

why he struggled in the past?

1. Federer wasn't as old.

2. Nadal wasn't washed up.

3. Murray like Djokovic is a late bloomer. The two of them will fight for the titles in the future.

Lame. My friend and I will find a way to unfocus him on the road. :twisted: His girlfriend looks so annoying.

Clarky's responses are always funny. I love her.

Definitely. She reminds me of a trained seal with her silly clapping all the time. He's best to leave her at home. Lol.

Yes, like a teenager. The pictures of them kissing on some red carpet were the most awkward things I've seen. Yuck.

This woman is the former wife of Danilo Ikodinovic, people who follows water polo knows of who I'm talking about.

That woman is ugly. Too many tanning booths.. Looks like her skin is leather

Omg not this b/s again. They did a photo shoot together at the end of 2009 for Story magazine(in Serbia) because they were voted that year by readers as Mr and Mrs Serbia or whatever. Ever since then media made up constant b/s about them for two/three years. She has a daughter and was married to a former Serbian waterpolo player who had a motorbike accident and couldn't play anymore. Djokovic at the time of his accident publicly gave his support to them. Anyway they've been friendly since that and were seen on and off together at the odd event over the next couple of years. The whole romance thing is rubbish though, and always completely denied by both of them. Serbian media's last embarrassing attempt to put them together was in the summer of 2010. There was a long article in several media sites about how they had been spotted sunbathing together on a yacht( no pictures, just "reliable sources") but on the very same day a video was posted on Youtube by a guy who had just seen Djokovic and Jelena and his brothers playing volleyball on a beach. The rumors died down after that and the next year they went on to making up rumors about how Djokovic and Jelena were getting married in Kosovo with Murray as best man. Seriously Serbian media's rumors are really as lame as this. Just this August, Ivanovic and Udovicic( Serbian waterpolo player) were dating according to Serbian media. The two have never met each other.......

^^^ Exactly ^^^^

Also, he could not serve for about a year - he had more double faults than aces one year - 2010?.

He could not play a slam with 5 set matches and have anything left in the SF until 2011.

He is still not a great tactician or volleyer. Look at the 2012 AO Final and watch the 4th set tie breaker. He had Nadal 5-2 or 5-3 and on 2 consecutive points had Nadal completely out of position and stabing just to float the ball back. Djoko had both feet in the court when he drove Nadal deep off the court with great drives. On both points, Djoko backed up - let me repeat that - leading 5-2 in tie breaker and drives Nadal into a slice floater from 10 feet behind the baseline and Djoko backs up on 2 consecutive points. He went on to lose both points and the tie breaker. Djoko won a hard fought 5th set but the 5th set should never have been played. Djoko was very lucky to win this match and little tactical mistakes like this can kill you.

More proof of bad tactician - watch 3rd set of Wimby final Djoko won over Nadal. Nadal backed up and looped the ball - Nadal basically said I cannot beat you playing grass court tennis so I will back up and play clay court tennis on a grass court. Djoko did not figure this out in the entire 3rd set which Nadal won. Djoko did finally figure it out in the 4th set and actually attacked a bit more.

Djoko is basically a run and gun guy. It is working for him now because he is physically superior to Nadal and Federer but he is no where near as good a tactician as either and Federer is a far more complete player. Even Nadal's tactics - hit it with heavy spin to the backhand until I break you down is more tactically sound - also Nadal will change things up when losing by coming in or trying to flatten it out. Federer is the best tactician in the game.
