What should be the strategy of Djokovic now?

[FreeBird]

There is no denying the fact that Djokovic will be having his eyes on RG. Sacrificing his No. 1 ranking prospects, should he concentrate more on clay or should he stick to his normal plan i.e. go for the kill in every tourney he enters?
I personally think that he should use the two HC masters to improve his volleys and point construction without too much worries about the results.

fail better.

Number one priority: Win a slam this year. At any cost (short of cheating). Preferably RG.

And if he is losing, make sure he goes down fighting to the very end, rather than folding like a tent as he has been doing recently.

When did he fold like a tent

 

[magnut]

Practice his serve and volley tactic more along with his overhead.

Final games of RG 2013. Last set of USO 2013.

That's not really recent..but I'm prbly just nitpicking anyway

 

[TheAnty-vic]

He should get Limb prosthesis first?

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

his priority: wins the FO of course.
He'd better hope Rafa will decline on clay and i won't be surprised if this happens this year.

Yeah, I'm talking about his most recent "big matches". He has already improved since USO 2013. But he needs to bring it even more if he wants to beat Rafa in the slams.

 

[Bartelby]

More mtos - they work, almost.

 

[Backspin1183]

Do a Nadal, focus on the clay season. Skip Miami, play MC, Barcelona, Madrid, Rome and go for the French.

 

[Maximagq]

Attack, hit his forehand more aggressively, hit more backhand DTL. Improve his serve.

Agree with first two.. You think he needs more mph on the serve?

Well played!

Djokovic should not become specialized. He needs to win any major he can.
He needs to start hitting like Stan. Stepping up into the court hitting Flat hard angled FH's and BH's again. Got to start taking the time away from the opponent. This IMO is the biggest thing he has lost. The confidence off both wings has decreased.

Not sure about the FO. Not sure if Nadal has declined on clay. Nadal might be better on hardcourts now. Very confusing year coming up.
I do not even know if Djokovic will get a single major this year. 2015 he might arise again.

 

[dpli2010]

2011~2013 have matured his chance of crowning in 2014...

Djokovic should prioritize playing offensive tennis and stop playing so much dang defense. This is why Stan blasted him off the court.
