First, I wanna say congratulations to Djokovic and his fans for an incredible achivement getting a 21st slam, but arguably just as impressive, a 7th Wimbledon title.
In my opinion, we can't blame his victory today on a choke from a mug. Kyrgios really tried.
But again we saw Djokovic winning a match after losing the first set, so I decided to check up on how often this has happended.
Since the 2020 US Open, Djokovic has lost the first set in 16 matches, and won an incredible 14 of them.
Why is this?
